He follows Sereph into the shop. "Huh? You want to talk to the elves?" He asked clearly in shock. "You think they will talk to us? They will kill us on sight."

"Yes, i am a noble no matter what my parents say. Part of being noble is learning diplomatic grace, and the useful ability to be a suck up. Plus i know an elf who might be able to help us. He used to have a major thing for me for a while. We are still friends though. I sent him a message already and he should be expecting us..." She walked up to a short lady on a ladder. "Excuse me?" The lady jumped and fell off the ladder. She stood up and straightened her glasses. "Oh goodness, what do you want?" she said roughly. "could we have a couple of face masks for protection against pollen. We have really bad allergies and we heard yours are the best." Sereph's expression looked admiring. She seemed to be demonstrating her acquired ability to suck up since the little lady giggled and hurried to the back side of a shelf. "Oh my, yes, they are, if i do say so myself..." She handed them to Ike. "i'll even be nice and give you half off for your kindness and compliment. 50 gold please." She chimed. Sereph handed her the gold and turned to ike winking. "And that's just a human." she thought into his mind. "Elves love flattery. Imagine how easy they will be...?" She chuckled lightly thanking the little lady and leaving the shop.

Ike followed Sereph out and laughed. "You're a genius, you know?" He said then chuckled. "Really amazing, you need to tell me how to do that."

"it's an art. something one cannot accomplish with a cold demeanor." She said half amused. "It's not something i can simply explain to you how to do." She finished. "Let us go to the hive!" She pointed in the direction of the nearest city exit.
