"Ah forget about him." Luvash says, waving his hand dismissively. "He'll be fine in a few days. I am Luvash, you must be the brave heroes that rescued my daughter. Come! You must be rewarded!" Luvash leads you off to a wagon. You can smell the alcohol on his breath as he speaks to you.

Enialis refuses to leave until the young man is taken down and his wounds treated. “No. I want him taken down and treated. That is not how you punish someone.”
Luvash sounds slightly aggravated as he responds to Enialis. "It is not how you punish someone. But it is how I punish someone, especially when they're charged with protecting my only daughter."

"I told you before, I don't need treatment!" "See? He said it himself. He doesn't need you looking out for him like you're his blasted mother. And besides, I'm finished with him anyway."

Hadrian doesn't seem fazed by the punishment, even though internally he finds it distasteful. He has bigger immediate concerns as he hauls the prisoner before the noble.
"Luvash, where is the nearest arbiter? This man deserves the punishment for the act of kidnapping and attempted murder."
“That sounds like vengeance, not justice,” says Hadrian, taken aback by venom in the man’s words. “We caught this man in the act, mind you, and he confessed freely to his crimes and his intention. But how can justice be meted out when it is tainted by such personal bias?”
Enilais's happy mood seem to be shifting as he says, "Fine." To the "leader" of the village. But looking at the young man he says, "This is not how people are punished. Period. Stop being a brainwashed idiot."
Hadrian attempts to distract from the situation and allow Enialis to resolve things with dignity, in private.
”My lord, again I ask, how is it that you are able to properly dispense justice when your own daughter is involved? Surely there is another judge or fair arbiter in the land. I would be glad to take this sorry excuse for a human elsewhere to receive the justice that is due.”
"Now you listen here. You are not of these lands. I am of these lands. I am of Vistani blood. The burgomaster over there," He points to Vallaki. "Is not of Vistani blood. He does not speak for me or my people. He has no power here. He speaks for his people. I am the judge, I dispense justice. The penalty for his crime is death, we both know this. Turn him over to me, so that I may make him pay for what he has done."

Hadrian nods, and hands the man over. “I have no qualms with this man receiving his due punishment. But you are quick to infer offense when there is none intended. My concern is that justice not be tainted with passion, but I understand now that the greater injustice would be seeking punishment for this man in Vallaki.”
The bearded cleric keeps his tone even and calm. “Remember we are friends here. We have returned your daughter to you, and delivered her captor into your hands. We have not come to insult you.”
"I was placed in charge of keeping watch over Arabelle. I didn't watch over her close enough. What's happening now is a just punishment."

Enialis shakes his head, “You made a mistake. She’s okay now. This can stop. And this is no way to punish anyone.”

Enialis responds in kind, “Well. It’s not right. And you’re going to stop. Now I want him down and treated.”

Enialis, if you had to guess, you'd say that the young man on the post is beginning to get embarrassed.

Enialis whispers to the man, "You don't have to emberassed. Now....are you going to let me get you down."
The young man is starting to get angry. "Are you dense? I don't want you to help me. ****. Off." He turns back and spits at you.

Enialis moves out of the way of the spit before calmly saying, “Just because you don’t want it, doesn’t mean you don’t need it.”
(These People act differently than the Vistani we’re used to. Do they look differently too?)
