[QUOTE="CrimsonFlameWielder, post: 6084871, member: 6684473"] Blehn, only marginally familiar with Kalashtar kind sees Hilkalas gesturing about him silently, and putting on airs of nobility with his upturned chin and better-than-thou stance. Par for the course as far as being in Sharn was concerned though. You couldn't travel through two levels of the city without bumping into one titled something or another on your way from place to place. It made him wonder just what made these people think they were so special...especially since there were so many of them. That wasn't to say that Blehn didn't understand hierarchy. The Dir family wouldn't dare stand in the way of The Sisters or their cronies, for instance... and the lowly goblin worker of Droam wouldn't dare stand in the way of the Dir family. The difference, however, was that the people of Droam just accepted how things worked, and one knew exactly where they stood in scheme of things. Every once in a while someone would need to get their head knocked in, just so that they understood where it was that they stood, and rarely, that would mean that someone of a lower station just "graduated" to the next level of standing, but for the most part, it wasn't something that needed to be over-stated. He could see the Kalashtar staring at Braddock and wondered what was going on. The desert dweller had an exotic look about him, and the floating, spinning orb didn't diminish that. Blehn didn't understand the need for such embellishment of stature. Why would anyone want to make themselves look more important or powerful than you really were? That would only get you in trouble when someone who WAS more powerful than you called you out. Blehn much preferred the opposite approach. He didn't look like anything much. But he could certainly back up his words with actions. Ignoring all of that for the moment, Blehn decided to just keep a careful eye on Hilkalas. One never knew exactly what the temperament could be of one of the "non-monsters". Instinctively, Blehn shifted his weight to the balls of his feet, though he consciously made sure that he didn't make any threatening movements with his hands. Looking back at the dwarf, Blehn waiting for a response to his questions, and ample offerings of ale. [/QUOTE]
