"Dwarves!" Fanelen repeated to Ciri. "We all know that the Dwarves detest Elves!"
"Fanelen is right," affirmed Elladan. "How can we be sure that these dwarves are willing to travel with us?"
"I can tolerate halflings," Fanelen stated, "but not those crass dwarves!"
"If you cannot tolerate them," Ciri replied, "then do not come. You don't have to."
"But-" Fanelen stammered. She had a feeling she wasn't going to win this argument. Like Elladan, Ciri tended to prove her wrong in most debates. Fanelen didn't want to back down, but Ciri had a point. The young elf desperately wanted to go on this journey, and she couldn't let a few dwarves or an argument stand in her path.
"I want to go on this journey," Fanelen said aloud. "And I suppose I can learn to tolerate dwarves. But we all know that elves and dwarves are rivals!"
