Chatak raised a brow for a moment at the humans confronting him, both the original pair and a couple of newcomers. Were they [i]all[/i] reincarnations, or were some of them normal humans? He couldn't really tell honestly, but it was clear that none of them seemed to think much of him. Probably. Again, he wasn't great at common, but that seemed to be the general vibe he was getting from them.

Also the sword in his face. That definitely gave him the feeling they weren't big goblin fans.

[color=72C515]"Oh? And why Chatak [i]not[/i] talk, hm?"[/color] He asked, still looking fairly confident. He didn't [i]feel[/i] that way, but he certainly faked it well. [color=72C515]"Chatak want witch let humans go. What Chatak do? Fight? Witch have army. Chatak have Chatak. If Chatak fight, he die. So he talk. Simple, no?"[/color]

He looked to Yakeru now, 'calmly' stepping past the knight as he did his best not to show the fear he felt. He would just have to trust that Patches and the Alchemist had found Shaktak already, and they were watching from a hidden spot somewhere nearby for if something went wrong. The fact that the man hadn't killed him on the spot though seemed like a decent sign though, and if he kept up this facade of confidence, they'd be more likely to at least see where the conversation went.

[color=72C515]"And if you not believe, how matter?"[/color] He asked. [color=72C515]"What you do? Fight? Yes, you kill gobs on way here. Small groups. But you have same problem as Chatak. One person against whole army, very heroic, but only in stories. Maybe you strong, maybe you good with sword, but only one sword. Enemy have many. If gobs surround human, attack together? You talented, but you block twenty blade at once? No! You almost die right now to Wyvern! You fight now, you throw life away, change nothing. That why you have no choice but hope witch agree, like Chatak."[/color]

Finally, he turned to the third man. Thankfully, this one seemed reasonable enough to actually consider negotiations instead of just insulting and threatening him right out of the gate, so he could at least trust [i]one[/i] of them to be mature.

[color=72C515]"Chatak thank human for offer, but cannot accept."[/color] He said. [color=72C515]"Humans think Chatak serve Witch, but he not. Chatak just Chatak. But Chatak not think other gobs agree either."[/color]

He sighed.

[color=72C515]"You say serving Witch not gobs best option, but you wrong. Gob not welcome in world. Other race see gobs, they kill. No... what is word... mercy? No talk. Not try. Goblin filthy like rat. Need live in wild instead, where other race not look. Then gobs only worry about be eaten by animals, or die of cold, or hot, or hungry. If you live that life, but then human appear who not just not kill, but [i]care,[/i] show [i]kindyness,[/i] you would betray?"[/color]

He looked at the whole group now, the fear of being killed fading as four years of indignation and anger entered his voice.

[color=72C515]"This problem [i]human[/i] make. Witch human like you. But no, you [i]good[/i] human! You not like Witch, you own person! But [i]Goblin,[/i] no, not people, evil monsters! All same! Kill by hundreds with friends! Find cave full of gobs? It [i]dungeon,[/i] not home. They all [i]enemy fighter,[/i] not scared tribe! Men, women, baby, what different? [i]No[/i] different! No need feel bad, just monsters to guard [i]loot![/i] You think goblin fight with Witch for no reason? Goblins have [i]every reason[/i] to turn on humans!"[/color]

His glare was practically burning at this point, fuelled by the rage of an entire race. Alongside it though was something else. A confidence that not only matched, but [i]surpassed[/i] the original facade he'd put up.

[color=72C515]"And [i]even then,[/i] Chatak [i]still[/i] ask Witch to free humans. You know why? Because Chatak believes in human, even if humans not believe in Chatak back. Even when most humans stupid, cruel, insult Chatak, Chatak still know some human good. Chatak [i]hope[/i] some human good. Chatak want world where human, gob, and all other race not fight, work together. But that world not happen on own, so Chatak [i]make[/i] happen. Start today. Here. So you stop fight, before make worse. No more dead today."[/color]
