Violet tilted her head slowly as she took in all that was being said. "You forget that centaurs do not trust easily. Finding someone else who they trust will solve nothing. Trust can be easily lost if loyalty seems to waver. We need to earn their respect, which is why a gift is prudent. It isn't about them liking us as much as them respecting us. Otherwise, there is no chance of them pausing long enough to listen." She slitted her eyes for just an instant. She knew what she was talking about.
