[QUOTE="Boddynock, post: 3839448, member: 21506"] Tarag is tired, hungry and sore. He listens to Keldar's prattling with increasing irritation, until the point at which the young human asked his barbed question. He then draws a deep breath, preparatory to cursing the young fool ... and stops. His blue eyes, framed in a face dirty and with the beard singed from his chin, look more deeply into Keldar's own. He turns more fully to face Keldar, and drops his voice so that what he says is not overheard by the others.
