`I will grant the Reptilians Autonomy,` Midas declared, letting his words hang in the air for a long time. Everyone's eyes went wide. What? He had the advantage, did he not? Why did he allow them to just go free like this?
Midas met Kriv's gaze with eyes that held a depth that Kriv had never seen before. `Kriv… Honestly, I admire the struggle you and your people have put on this day. Your story is something that inspires me greatly.`
`Having heard everything, having understood what you stand for, I want your people to live, survive and thrive on this new land they find themselves. Your perseverance and perspicacity are something that I will forever look to embody in my Clan, something I wish to tell my people about.`
Midas' voice was almost warm at this point, and this gesture was something no reptilian could ever have expected, especially not from the Leader of the Humans that they had been fighting all this time.
