Seeing that Iyas had not moved for quite some time, Vorquis extended his right hand, intending to take Iyas to a place where they would be alone.
In Vorquis's view, the reason Iyas was rejecting him was solely because she didn't know his identity.
If he could find a secluded spot to reveal his identity to Iyas, she would recognize his greatness, exhibit an air of vulnerability with teary eyes, and beg him to help her resolve her problems, eagerly throwing herself at him.
At that point, by simply showing a bit of tenderness, he could truly make this beautiful elf his companion and develop an even closer relationship.
However, before Vorquis's hand could grasp Iyas's wrist, a pair of rough hands beat him to it, gripping his wrist tightly.
"What do you think you're doing to my partner?"
The sudden appearance of this figure startled Vorquis, who turned his head to look at the man who had grabbed his wrist.
