[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 4785460, member: 23484"] [color="darkred"] It’s always a funny sight, when you’re in a dwarven village. I think they do it deliberately, but the surface buildings are always built so humans have to bend their neck: five-and-a-half-foot doorframes, beam construction so that there are always obstacles, stools and tables just a little too small. Underground is different of course – there they want to impress. But when it’s a surface building, it’s like some dwarf architect one night was talking to a gnome, and they engineered the biggest practical joke among the civil races. Take this place, for instance – a human and now two half orcs are in the place, keeping a low profile by beating up… well, pretty much anybody, it seems. The human worries me. She saw me,[/color] Galatea thinks to herself. The comment about the color is well enough, but the adjective… [color="darkred"]”Perhaps you’d all like to sit down”[/color] she says to the half orcs and the redhead. She is trying to be firm, but her voice lacks conviction. [color="darkred"]”You’re attracting attention.”[/color] Gala points to a couple of cut stumps that serve as extra stools, stacked against the wall. She rubs her chin, pausing to notice that her muzzle doesn’t have fur. It’s been a while since she was in this body for any real length. The half-orcs she can make sense of. She knows that they are different from the foe this village faces – they smell different, and loath though they may be to admit it, they act civilized. And she knows that the dwarves in their hearts know it too – even if surface prejudices might show themselves differently, given the tensions in the air, on this night especially. But the woman worries her. Michelle, she had introduced herself as. [color="darkred"]She had seen me,[/color] thinks Galatea, [color="darkred"]and she wants me to know that she’s seen me. Is it just showing off? Or just a warning, that I'd better cover my tracks more carefully. Need to get the scent of her... too many people here; not like at home.[/color] [color="darkred"]”My name,”[/color] she says deliberately, [color="darkred"]”is Galatea. Why don’t you tell me what those boys there on the floor wanted?”[/color] [/QUOTE]
