He assesses the situation and answers honestly.
— Hmm, — Gray nodded, — but this is only part of what we have to go through. In Lunaria, half-elves have only two choices: exile or death. For purebloods, our very existence is repulsive, and the union of a human and an elf is a crime with all the consequences that entails. In other words, we are not welcome anywhere, and we don't have a home either. — The merchant took some documents out of a drawer and then returned to the conversation. — But I say all this, of course, not to try to evoke your pity, not at all. You just need to understand who you are dealing with — you cannot count on charity or understanding from me, and although, as is usually the case for people in our profession, I could try to convince you to conclude an unfavorable contract or promise things that will never happen, I will not do that and will tell you everything as it is. Joining the guild will cost you 1000 silver astras. Such an amount will serve as confirmation of your serious intentions and will allow us to reduce dealings with unverified people. If you don't have that much money, I can write it off for you as a loan. Of course, with interest. And if neither of these options suits you, I can offer another alternative, but only if you are confident in your diplomatic skills and are willing to do some small work.
