He looks the young elf in the eye. "You're bound to the tree? Then, why don't you destroy the tree? I'm sure we can lend you an axe or something similar."
Horasiu now has got into the habit of speaking directly towards Elbalar and waiting for him to translate. Beiwarin listens to his brief statement before translating rather quickly. "He claims to have no idea what would happened if the tree would be destroyed. He would be worried that it would kill him, but is willing to give it a try if no other options seem available. Regardless, he says that if the tree where to be killed, he can't be the one to do it because the curse rendered him somewhat incorporeal, preventing him from being able to physically hold an axe... If that is the case, then it is best that we didn't give him the paper to write on, because that would have been embarrassing."

"He then offhandedly mentions how he could give us more useful information about what he has observed over the past week if we don't leave him. I don't recall us every saying that we would leave before helping him, but he is apparently concerned about it anyway."
