"You ask me that?" Nial asked, his voice adapting a tone of mockery without even meaning to.
Valvian merely nodded his head in response, ignoring Nial's tone completely.
"I'm just one of the puny humans your race believes to be able to treat like their toys," Nial answered without trying to hide his disgust.
In the last three months, Nial had gotten a fair idea of the Elves' behavior, their talent, and their intentions.

Nial was oblivious to this, but he could clearly tell that he was feeling more courageous than usual. Offending the race he wanted to learn a lot from was definitely not something he should do.
But Nial couldn't care less right now.
