Aric sat inside the office, his feet crossed on the desk, while leaning backward on the chair. He stared at the ceiling with a blank expression on his face.
Ariel and Elisa sat on the two chairs inside the office. Elisa stared at Aric while Ariel went through some papers that were on the table.
"That went a lot easier than I expected," Aric said, still having the blank expression on his face.
"It seems hobgoblins are not really a threat anymore," Ariel said, tossing the paper in her hands to the table.
"So what's the plan now? You saved them, their leaders are downstairs waiting for you, and you are here," Ariel said.
"Uhm, I want the tension in the air to calm down a bit before we get into any talks with anyone," Aric said.
"Sigh, well you should do something fast because the village is now crowded with hundreds of homeless ogres," Ariel said.
