Faelvir was distracted by a Nix threatening some person and a Serpentfolk. He had never seen representatives of this race before, only read about them. And he hadn't read anything pleasant. But based on the descriptions in the books, he immediately realized that the threatening creature was a Nix.
"It looks like a fight is about to happen. I should side with this group of people and, possibly, offer help to someone if they are attacked."
Faelvir thought, although he knew he would help even the Nix if it got beaten up.
