[QUOTE="Mewness, post: 5149289, member: 14889"] Looking a little confused, Papolstaanas sets down his half-drunk bowl of [I]zocalti[/I] and digs into his pack. [COLOR="Wheat"]"I-I have one, I think, sir, um, Your Honor,"[/COLOR] he says, finding a folded copy of the [I]Screamer[/I] from his day of sightseeing in Daunton. [COLOR="Wheat"]"Kaeysari and I needed to find out when the shows were starting, a-and..."[/COLOR] He is about to hand it directly to the head man, but then suddenly decides that this might be considered disrespectful and extends the paper toward Bwarli instead. The kobold then looks around a little nervously, fidgeting, unsure of whether he should drink the rest of his drink, which he doesn't hate, actually. He wonders why the head man is not responding to Cillani's requests. Perhaps the proper honors are not being observed. He tries to think back to what Laeleg said... [COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]ooc--assuming nothing untoward happens for a few moments and nobody actively tries to shut him up:[/COLOR] [COLOR="Wheat"]"Um, Your, Your Honor, you see, it's like this, we came to make an, I guess an official request.
