" I hope you can negotiate with Snorcs, Dan." Sasha said, looking at her cousin.
"It will not work." Dan answered before Sasha could even explain her plan.
" I didn't even say what my plan was." Sasha said, grumbling at him.
" You want to negotiate a surrender from Snorcs and Giants, with their wives as the hostages." Dan answered for Sasha.
"Indeed. Why wouldn't that work ? " Sasha asked, for in her mind, they have enough hostages to sway Snorcs.
"Because they have nothing left to fight for any more." Valerie answered.
"They have wives and children. In our hands." Sasha answered.
"No. As long as the Snorc children and women are in Wintermen's hands, they do not come back alive. You are not naive enough to think violence is only on Snorcs side, are you? " Valerie asked her sarcastically.
Indeed it is true.
Snorcs haven't been kind to winter land people, and vice versa.
However the circumstances are different now, aren't they ?
