After all, everyone in the room turned to look at me after she asked this.
I didn’t say anything even though everyone in the room was looking at me.
I just calmly observed the expressions that they looked at me with.
Most of them seemed like they were positive, with some even looking hopeful about the answer that I would give.
After watching them for a bit like this, I finally said, "Well, I think that it would be fine to stay here for a bit. However, I’m someone that likes being free and wandering around, so it isn’t as if I would stay here forever."

The ones that seemed the most disappointed were Nimue and Rania, but I chose to act like I didn’t see this.
Instead, I was waiting to see what the reaction of the chief would be since she had a deadpan expression the entire time.
A long silence lingered in the air before she finally said, "I see, I see."
With a smile, the chief suddenly said, "You really embody the spirit of a high elf. There’s nothing else that needs to be said, you’re free to stay here and learn from the rest of us for as long as you want and you’re free to leave whenever you want."
