Whew, pretty late but had the chance to post finally.

Whatever might you charm and sway these dark elves, with such actions you could make towards them or what you might promise.Under any other circumstance, by now you would have killed all three dark elves for intruding and threatening you, and seen them remade as cats. Freeing them from their rotten inhuman nature, and redeeming them as something good and pure. As the situation stands however, you've more than yourself to think of and so find yourself oddly imprisoned in your actions. An unpleasant feeling, but one you can deal with nonetheless.
So from what you can do, what you have to work with, you let these elves play a part in their own demise. Or at least their own failure, for you most certainly are not leaving this place with them. For all their efforts of reaching you, gaining audience with a goddess however... they deserve to be rewarded, don't they?

<span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i">"You can't offer us a pardon from our own kind, silence wretch!"</span></span>

The male hisses at you, trying to check the way out by the time you're clothed at least in sleepwear and ready to leave. The she-elf by contrast, is already starting to seem charmed by you from her continued proximity, and helps you along while keeping a close hold of you. Led to the entrance of your chambers and kept between them as their prisoner, you've subtly managed to shift their original intent of assassination to kidnapping, and by your influence their weapons are sheathed. Were it not for the beastly dark elf with them, still a potential danger, you'd have already acted by now.
Close as you are with the trio now however, shoulder to shoulder as they try to plot the escape, you can make physical contact with them. Harmless enough touch of the arm here, innocent and accidental touch of the leg there. Your skin and your voice, your appearance and your smell, you know how susceptible mortals can be at first and particularly inhumans.
