Then perhaps they will continue to respect you still. But they will not hold that same respect for all that approach them. Not forever.

The point that I am trying to make is, if you have met them, then you know what they are like. Should situations be reversed, they would not care what were happening to us. They would stand by and watch as we were swallowed by the dark. They would most likely be laughing and singing and dancing as it happened, because they're mad. And just because you want to save them and their mountain from what's coming, that's not going to change.

[Faolan tells it like it is. Sorry, Wan. He's earned the right? Considering they almost literally ate him alive, with their fire hands and their fire mouths. It was really unpleasant.]
