They don't care about anyone but themselves" Thomas speaks "We need their help Clara" Clara speaks "No we don't" Gavin speaks "Leofric is right . It wouldn't hurt to grow the army" Clara sighs of frustration. Jasper speaks "Thomas is our king we shouldn't judge his decision" Clara speaks "If the centaurs show any sign of attack I will draw my bow" Clara walks away already moving forward.
