the blood running through your veins

It's only then that you realize that you've left out the most important part of the story. To those who feel empathic towards the tieflings. Something he seems to be. It surprises you although you don't like to admit it. Because that surprise implies you've judged him before he's got a chance to introduce himself and his various beliefs.
You've been raised in a sanctuary far away from big cities like Baldurs Gate. The few elves who studied there were adamant about their kind being not the one you'd expect to help others freely. Then again: a lot of the people in your sanctuary were outcast like you and your mother were. It's easy to believe in only the bad sides then. It's your job to make sure thoughts like those can't grow roots in your head. To keep questioning yourself.

All that remains — or rather, remained — were the goblins.
