Damien arches his eyebrow at the ugly man, but breaks out in a disarming smile. "This is but the edge of the heat, my friend. The fiends themselves heat the outer desert, or so they say! Fire storms hundreds of feet high! But we will find shade, that we will." He keeps an eye on the motion of the line, ignoring the---to him---inconsequential heat.Kafkonia said:As Damien waits in line, a remarkably unattractive man strikes up a conversation with him. One eye seems slightly larger than the other, and when he speaks Damien can see that the few teeth he has don't fit neatly together.
"Quite a line-up, eh?" he says. "They coulda picked a cooler day to do it on too. Haw haw." His laugh resembles the noise a horse might make if it wanted to annoy its brethren.

Pasha blushes and looks down. "Ah, I am but a humble servant of Halmaro, friend. All I say, I say in his service, yes?"Kafkonia said:"Thank you, Pasha," the interviewer says. "I value your opinion, as always."
PhoenixAsh said:Spinning around she turns to Pasha, “What do you think, does it suit me?” She arches her chin out and seems to be indicating the red ribbon.
The tiny goblin pauses for a moment, considering the bard's words. He then grins even wider than before, nodding in satisfaction. "Ah, such kindness is but the responsibility of friends, yes? And as I am D'n Pashabek, lonely merchant of the deep desert, the joy of friendship is like, ah, cool fresh water to me!" He throws out his tiny arms, indicating the vast crowd assembled around them. "How excited am I to be travelling with such a greatness! Yes? For in the desert, often my only friends are lizard, rock, and goblin, all of which have about the same brains, yes?" Pasha winks slyly.PhoenixAsh said:Malinda hesitates as the vial is pressed into her hand, disarmed by Pasha’s casual kindness. Finally she clasps the vial in her fingers and bends slightly, her blue eyes glistening. It would seem they threaten to shed tears. “Pray, dear friend, gift me also with your name, that when I speak of generosity, of magnanimous spirit, I may give you your proper due. For such kindness is rarer than any desert rose, and more precious. I, Malinda Osten, shall never forget it.” She bows her head, hiding away her eyes for a moment.
"Ah, such an excellent prospect! But let us walk together," Pasha points toward the entertainer's booth and then at the brown ribbon on Malinda's hand, "and there I will hear music from you, as you play for them. Audience of one is not fitting for such a fine performer, yes?"PhoenixAsh said:She lifts it to see the two guardsmen Pasha indicates, and the man between them. “Oh… so it would seem, how unfortunate for him.” Her fingers reflexively rub the brown ribbon laced between them, and she seems to notice her possession of it suddenly once again. “Tell me, are you a lover of music? It would please me if you heard me play, but only if it would be something you would enjoy and your time is not occupied by more pressing matters.”

Pasha waddles through the crowd, taking quick steps, nodding and waving at everyone he passes. He seems innocently unaware of the fact that almost everyone ignores him, considering a mere goblin, even one dressed like a clown, to be beneath their notice.
nonamazing said:Passing by the line in front of the healer's booth, Pasha holds up a hand and looks up at Malinda. "Just a moment, if you please, friend. I would, ah, ask a question." He considers the long line for a moment before stepping up to a cloaked kobold near the back. "Many pardons, son of dragons, but I am curious as to the, ah, disturbance that just took place, yes? Did you perhaps see what happened to the large man they took away?"
