"Pleased to make your acquaintance, Master Gorlbarak. I am Garold Riechenburg, also traveling to Altdorf."
Thought tempted to greet him in Dwarven, the reception he received during his first attempts with Dawi went so poorly, Garold is afraid to try again with a stranger.

OOC: [MENTION=88601]FourMonos[/MENTION], you could use the structure of the introduction or some cultural references to reveal your deep knowledge and understanding (if you have such) of dwarven culture ( such as showing yo know the meaning of dwarven words and religious references)

[sblock=ooc] Well, the short story is: Garold picked up some rudimentary Dawi from the town smith, who liked to swear in his native tongue. Missing his fellow dwarves, and laughing at the human boy swearing in Dawi, the smith taught him some common phrases, nouns and verbs.
It interested Garold a lot, so when he was at University, he tried learning more under a human professor at University. Compared to real dwarven, Garold's is fairly rudimentary and actually would be very informal and not intricate in customs, titles, ect.
Plus he got some negative feedback from Gorim, so he's a little hesitent to practice it now... he'll probably let some slip here and there... [/sblock]

"This is bad, to be sure, but hardly a reason to go across country to punish him. There are racists everywhere. Humans are much more varied folk then we are, I am told. But we can see what's this all about once we get there."
A bit later, when he catches the dwarves alone he asks in dwarven: "What about the rest of your companions? How do you find them?"
OOC: [MENTION=59043]Walking Dad[/MENTION], just to make things clear(er) for those who skim-read, Alaghor is a title, not the name (not that humans would know that
)

"Maybe it was just the last incentive to move on. I worked for a human mining company. You know that there mines don't exist for long, anyway.
For the other travelers, they happen to travel in the same direction. Just ask them yourself, Alaghor."
