"So...this is why things have been so peaceful in here..." said Erland, without even looking behind.
Elatha's chuckle could be heard as he came into the faint light from the shadows. "The prince from the exile's land is indeed quiet cunning...but at the same time, naive."
Erland turned around with a gentle smile. "You tricksters can come out...Seems like Elatha has tamed you all well."
The trickster guards came out and immediately locked the door in front of Erland while Elatha was still facing him.
"Hah! We got him this time, boss!" said one of the guards.
Erland let out a sigh and sat down on the ground with one knee high. With a short laugh he said, "You know...I have a meeting in an hour. If they find me missing and finally find me here, you all will be in great trouble." Erland widened his smile. "But since I have some time, I will play along."
