Arlix stepped forward, and continued to step forward until he was right before the gnarled figure and jabbed a finger at the other's chest. "Any chief before me would make the same choice whether they are wise or not. Regardless if you came in as kittens, or as murderous marauders, the fact is is that you and your companion came in as a threat. Drop your arrogance in a land that is not your own and we will likewise let down our weapons" he compromised, still not about to step down. "We will not cow before you simply because you choose to waggle your fingers. It is better to be dead than to be a coward" he said coolly, still not seeming to care at all that he was standing before two people that could easily smite him.

"If you are a gentle man by nature, prove it" Arlix finally stated. "Drop your aggressive pretenses. You do not have any authority here. Either be welcomed in a peaceful nature, or leave" he repeated again. It didn't get any simpler than that, and Arlix was not about to budge on the decision. In fact, if he had done any different, he knew he'd probably lose face in his people's eyes. He was their leader; their idol. It would never do to meekly bend knee to these strangers. Any other chief would have done the same, it was how their culture was. Even if Arlix wanted to compromise the situation; which he didn't truly feel partial to now, it was not what his people were expecting of him. He wasn't so much a singular leader, he was an outlet, a representative for what his people expected.

Arlix tilted his head across the way, watching the outskirts when the third party was mentioned. Very faintly, he saw Kahler and his gaze hardened. As much as he didn't want to, Kahler would have to be rebuked for the slight. He should be out of sight.

His attention turned quickly back to the gnarled figure and his companion.

"This is your last chance to abide by my terms. If you do not, you will leave this land as corpses"
