The preparations within the city were not much to be honest. The separate areas within the city were made so that the general people were always ignorant to what was really happening.
This was unsettling. The people that had watched the battle between Ralph and Jasmine's sister had been amazed. The pelves that followed them and gossiped while they had been in the market were all focused on these odd humans who visited them.
Whoever, they also had no ideas about what was happening. The risks of the locusts or monsters just outside their walls. They didn't deal with any of that at all. They were completely focused on the facts that they were living their own perfect lives and that was all.
This was worrisome since if something bad happened and the city was actually attacked, then there were plenty of the elves that would be taken by surprise. That means they would most likely be hurt or perish.
