A third of the world is covered by the howling maelstrom that was born a century ago. It is not ordinarily a place you'd find people surviving, but sometimes things appear in it. Strange things - otherworldly things - brought into the mist of a howling storm of cloudy dust and wind that blows in whichever direction it wants.
Saffron doesn't want to ban them from Elysium on such thin grounds, but she acknowledges that it was pretty weird the way the last incident happened and says she'll have someone warn them if any of them come in and have a guard on their corridor if they stay the night.
She's willing to ban wolves on Eefa's say-so going forward and she wants Laithan to do the same thing. This is the first time a well-behaved guest has died in Elysium in a long time and she is PISSED.
Yes, Laithan can do that. No one in Kenton is going to gainsay him listening to Saffron.
"I don't think so, Saffron and Laithan both have your back now. If you point out a wolf they'll be hustled straight out of town. It'd take a long time to get a setup like that anywhere else if it ever happened at all."
"Because they've seen enough evidence now that they know the wolves are the aggressors and we weren't doing anything to provoke them and that the wolves are escalatory and violent. They could have decided that we were a liability, innocent or not, but they didn't."
"Probably some combination of moral feelings, personal pride, and arbitrary inertia."
"Well, if you give people what they want because they threw fire at you, then anyone who hears about that knows that they can get what they want out of you by throwing fire."
"No, not really. Saffron lost one of her guests and a couple employees this time. If more people decided to throw fire at her to get stuff she'd lose more people, maybe even herself or her fiancée."
