Arriving at the first shop in this city that Strin had taken them to, he introduced the group to the shopkeeper, who was an old acquaintance of theirs and gave them space to look at the artifacts and resources for sale.
Meanwhile, he exchanged a few words with the 'ant' who was working as a vendor there.
"Strin, why did you bring such a group into my store? Don't you know how greedy and violent these space explorers are?" The ant said in a way that only they could understand. "I thought you were a friend, man!"
Strin laughed bitterly and said. "Accan, these people aren't like that. And even if they were, what would I do? Let them go and risk them getting into trouble with us? We'd be the ones to lose! Don't forget that our tribe lives nearby.
Better I guide them and keep them out of trouble or away from our tribe than let them go alone."
