Kailus: I asked first

"As I said, this is dangerous country so I make friends where I can." Kailus dares to glance back at where the man's friends might be to be sure that they are not being flanked. "It is a strange place to call home. I heard many a rumor of dangers in these wilds, Trolls who may have taken a farmer.and his son. This place is not one to call home."

Kailus adds. "My friend here is very jumpy so I don't recommend your friends make any sudden moves when they appear."
"My name is Tarkis. I have very few friends." The man replied.
Unfortunately it is too late to stop things already in motion, Elf"
