"Child, you are too extreme."
His voice was low, filled with disappointment in Yrel, as though he were lamenting how this "star of tomorrow" among the Draenei had come to this point.
"I understand, child. You are so agitated because you are thinking of our people. You mourn their fate and wish to change it.
