Vorik is the curious sort, always wanting to know more about the distant lands beyond the island. He's always hanging on Amanda's every word, wanting to hear stories about England and France and all the other places she's been. He understands the potential concerns about humans landing here and wanting to conquer or pillage the island; he's heard of the weapons they have at their disposal, and he understands Saval's objections, but surely a few humans with a reasonable, diplomatic leader won't cause a problem.
"I am Vorik. If your ship is damaged, we can certainly assist you--as a carpenter and apprentice architect, I can personally help with the repairs." He's glad Saval can't understand that, or the eyerolling disapproval would be epic, but fixing things is what he's good at, and he wants to be useful.
"And he was merely expressing the hope that your friends will not cause us any trouble. Saval is...not fond of Englishmen." Diplomacy is not Vorik's strong suit, though he tries.
"It would be helpful," says Saval dryly, "if you would translate for me. I understand that flirting takes priority, but surely you can manage."
