First, what did they tell you about why this war is happening? Is it just a big game to them? Are there stakes involved that could effect more than just the Seelie if they lose? What if there are repercussions in the mortal world?
For that matter, would either the Seelie or the Unseelie become upset or angry if we all tried to be conscientious objectors? The Seelie might not hurt those who don't want to fight, but the Unseelie aren't known for their kindness.
I'm all for diplomatic effort and trying to propose peaceful solutions, but immediately proposing we all ought to lay down arms without knowing what the consequences will be might be hasty.
[She can't help but add,] I hope you don't mind my playing devil's advocate. I think it's kind of my nature.
