When Allan heard that the farmers were from Woodhaven, he realized the forest folk couldn't be elves. Woodhaven was to the south and the elves kept to their own lands far to the east unless they had reason to roam further afield. Allan made a note to mention bandit sightings in Woodhaven the next time he saw his mother. If she didn't already know, he didn't want any bandits getting lucky and surprising her if her work sent her that way. If she did already know, she might be able to shed some more accurate light on the situation than the farmers could. Either way, with Cass bringing the argument to a close, Allan gave a nod of agreement, supplied a [b]"I don't doubt that. Have a good day, Cass"[/b], and turned to go see what else there was to see this day.
