[Kyonos Weatherstone]

If Kyonos needed a reminder of why he disliked Elves ad avoided them whenever possible, here it was. First of all the Elf was trying to intimidate him. .............wrong move. Even more than most Dwarves, Kyonos regarded such an attitude as a challenge. It was a challenge that he met many times and would not cower to any being, especially an Elf. Then came the condenscending remarks, this was typical of an Elf. The Dwarf waited for all that talk to end, he even listened to it. He wondered if the Elf was trying to make himself liked or feared. Maybe both but neither was going to happen.

The Dwarf seemed to get more confused by what the Elf was saying as time went on. As was his wont, the Dwarf spoke his mind. "What does all this have to do with the article in the Herald? Dwarven steel is better that Elven steel. Since this is a Dwarf city, Dwarves get a price break. Since I do not want to encourage trade with Elves, they are charged more. All that is simple enough for even an Elf to understand."
