No, I believe Anji would NEVER do that without provocation. Kill a prospective benefit and Ally. Slavers, that aren't our own, they are suspect and I would not have too much problems with them if it became apparent they would be a real problem like the last one were.
TRADERS? Seriously... MERCHANTS??? Obviously you hate commerce and the ability to get goods from elsewhere that we cannot make. WEll, maybe not obviously but it seems so harsh to just kill em and take their stuff.
Not that these guys need to get a parade and dancers, but peaceful trade is up my alley.
Now it's true, that if we were not as well situated as we are now, the temptation of stealing goods would be more alluring. But it would not fit with who we, as a people, are. We attempted peace with the run away Slaves. We attempted peace with the Slavers. WE are attempting peace now. I believe this is a trait the Clan has.
Besides, I don't really want to become bandits right now. While it might seem fun on TV and in novels, it BLOWS in reality. I would prefer to not have to constantly watch over our shoulders MORE then we already do. Also, I think it would change our Clan and make us darker, more brutal, then we need to be.
If they try to harm us, then all bars are off and we take them for everything they have, but if they treat us with the respect we are offering them, leave them better then they met us and hope they will aid us in the future.
