"They all went back to the cave one after another, seemed like they were off to mining," Anna replied in a low voice. "I saw they didn't run, so I didn't stop them."
"Smart decision." Gaven gave the Maiden Priestess a thumbs up. "From now on, it's not about changing them but letting them adapt to our presence. I just took a look around, and there are quite a few good herbs. When you have time, take those little ones to pick some. Later, when we roast the meat, I'll save ten pounds for you to use as prizes. I saw several Gnolls with injuries, and a few arms and legs with clear disabilities. Next, just do what you're best at."
"Understood, we call that building good rapport," Anna chuckled like a little fox who had successfully stolen a chicken.
Gaven's conciliatory approach really resonated with the genuinely kind-hearted Maiden Priestess.
