— Dal, he doesn't need to know that, — the masked guy interjected, — otherwise we'll never recruit new members.
— No, I won't allow myself to hide the truth from people. — The man returned to the conversation with Yves. — Last year, we had many newcomers, young and old enthusiasts who wanted to dedicate themselves to the craft of hunting, but a great tragedy occurred, and none of them survived. That's why there are only three of us here now, plus a couple of acquaintances who sometimes visit the city.
— Well, that means you understand, — the second one interjected again, — with such a small number of people, you can't really organize any tournaments or courses.
