The pieces of fabric are joined together around his waist with a simple belt and then woven together as if to form a very loose fitting tunic.

[U]D20Dazza [/U] Bahruul swivels in the direction of Pwent and gives him a hearty slap on the back [Color=Orange]"Hahha, we'll make you part of the herd yet!"[/Color] he says with enthusiasm. [U]Nonlethal Force [/U] Destiny sits with a smirk on her face as the others talk about their stomachs. She was actually rather relieved to be their friends, because in honesty she'd be the right size to provide a healthy meal for the rest of them were the situations reversed. Finding a break in the conversation she teases Pwent about his earlier comment, [Color=Olive]"Next time? You planning on getting your stuff stolen again?"[/Color] As they continue to talk, a very attractive man walks out of the kitchen area with a tray loaded with food. By the look of it, it appears to be sausages, boiled cabbage, and what look like crab legs - only these were black. The man is dressed in two pieces of clothing, each of which is firmly secured to one of his ankles. The pieces of fabric are joined together around his waist with a simple belt and then woven together as if to form a very loose fitting tunic. As he moves, the fabric sways and adds to the effect of his graceful walking. It is as though he were gliding across the floor on air rather than walking. Several tables begin clamoring for his attention - though nobody rises to approach him. [U]D20Dazza [/U] Bahruul sites the tray of food and his stomach gives out another loud rumble. He slowly raises his hand into the air, using his reach to good advantage so that it towers above the heads of the other patrons, and waits for the waiter to arrive. [U]jkason [/U] Byntrou chuckles at Destiny's comment. [Color=DarkRed]"I think if there's something Pwent likes more than eating, it's finding a good fight. Who knows what he might be willing to lose if it meant more ... uh, 'dancing.'" [/Color] He lets his more sizable herdmate try to hail the waiter, trying to remember if he knows anything black and crablike. [U]Nonlethal Force [/U] Destiny chuckles, [Color=Olive]"Yes, our little twinkle toes..."[/Color] The waiter does seem to spot the large bous and for a brief second makes eye contact as if making a mental note that there was a new party in the tavern. He scans the room again for anyone new and then turns to head back to the kitchen without stopping at any other table. [Sblock=Byntrou] Unfortunately, Byntrou is unable to come up with any concrete answer for a food that size and crab-like. Byntrou is, of course, fully allowed to speculate. [/Sblock] [/QUOTE]
