I've a proposition to make.

I've considered the situatuon, and believe that a truce would be to our mutual benefit. I don't have personal quarrels with any of you, so I see no reason to continue fighting over a matter that we presently have no means to change.. [...Dist and Asch excluded. You're on notice, traitors.] All of our energy would be better spent searching for means to deal with the current situation. I would also like to remind you that I've been here for some length of time, and have not done harm to any of you, despite being assaulted more than once. [Asch.] Take it as a measure of my sincerity.

However, if you reject me now, I will not be offering again; and the next person among you to attack me [Asch.] will be dealt with severely and without mercy. I don't know what you could hope to accomplish with such actions, apart from uselessly antagonizing me. I am still entitled to defend myself.

My suggestion is to consider this offer carefully. I can be a valuable ally to you, or a dangerous enemy. The choice will be your own.

Are there any doctors here with specialist knowledge of toxins?

If a man wanted to find productive employment in this village, where might he begin looking? Pay is obviously impossible, but I'm willing to work for personal satisfaction and perhaps a favor or two later.

I have twelve years of service as a military officer, and a decade of experience in sword instruction. I've been told I'm also a fair cook, and a talented musician. I can play the piano; and the pipe organ, though I doubt this village has one available.

... I agree that this arrangement does appear be beneficial to both parties, in light of our current circumstance. [On the surface anyway, but this is sure to be a flimsy truce at best, and the two of them know it well. If even one of their number were to refuse and became involved in an altercation, it would not take long for it to quickly fall back into war. Not to mention the myriad of experiments that could cause a misunderstanding.]

I feel it necessary to note that your conditions would apply to you as well: We are entitled to defend both ourselves and the other residents of this village, if we so choose. Personal quarrels rarely stay private for long, especially in an enclosure of this size. [Truce or no truce, he certainly isn't going to relax.]
