The Apprentice looks almost affronted for a moment, but bows his head and steps back.
“Apologiesss,” you address the Eldest Dwarf in the trade-tongue you two share. “Ssit, or sstand, asss you ssee fit.”
He glowers at you darkly, and asks: “Do you think feigning basic courtesy will make me forget what you did to my brothers, my brother’s sons? Do you think me a FOOL, lizardman?”
“Dragon, actually,” you reply coolly, “and no, dwarf. I do not think you a fool. I think you wise enough to underssstand that, while those ssons and nephewsss are dead and gone, your sisssters, daughtersss and sspawn yet ssurvive. If you do not appreciate my courtesssy, perhaps they yet might. Even if it isss feigned, it isss better than naked cruelty, yess?”
