Chapitre 274: Following the Rule

It's fascinating to observe the differing perspectives between the Elves and Dwarves in this situation. For the Elf, apologizing holds significant weight, and they believe that once they've expressed remorse, the issue should be resolved. However, the crucial difference lies in the interpretation of the apology. The Dwarf perspective diverges, as they could have accepted the Elf's apology, but what made it difficult for them was the derogatory comments about their odor and appearance.

While the Elf may have considered their remarks as honesty, the Dwarves perceived it as an affront to their dignity. It wasn't merely about rejecting the Elf's perspective, but rather about feeling humiliated by such candid observations. This divergence in cultural understanding and the varied significance attached to words and actions emphasizes the importance of cultural sensitivity and the challenges of navigating intercultural relationships.
