"Well outsider, we have heard you wish to propose a truce?"
"Yes, that is correct."
"And explain why we would ever consider joining you? You took away countless of our own, gave the Chouhoku means of stealing our hunting lands, killing out people with impunity, and let them control this entire area, including grounds that are sacred to us! Why would we join the ones responsible for this upset in the balance?!"
"What my friend wants to know is after all you have done to us, what makes you any different from the 'Sergals'?"
"Different? I suppose when you look at us like that we do look indistinguishable."
"So why-"
"BUT! But we still value the lives of those in these lands. We established ourselves and did not move a step further. You have seen what we can do, we could have drawn you into a war you would lose if we wanted to but we didn't. WE regret the loss of you lands, BUT we do not leave a trail of blood behind us like the Sergals. WE make take slaves from you BUT we treat them well! They rise through the ranks, and we treat them as equals! The Sergals will not. They will torture you, they will play with you like a predator plays with its food. And they won't even grant you the mercy of dying before they devour you. I ask you, all of you, do you to fight us in a war that will doom you? Or will you join us and live to fight another day?"
I can see that some are being stirred by my little speech, namely the ones on the right. But the other two look unconvinced. Anything to add that might help?
