[Chapter 1.01] The Call For Heroes
Nezaglomie notices the strangers attention right away. She could hear her mother's voice in her head, He's just another boy hoping to be with you. With Za's natural beauty, she certainly had no shortage of boys, and even adult gnomes, making such attempts, but this was a big and she wasn't quite sure how to act.
The man walks directly to her table, "Good morning, I'm Sularius, may I join you?" he asks as he motions to one of the chairs.
"Of course, please, ummm, sir," Nezaglomie responds, somewhat unsure how to answer. He used a familiar form right away, as if we knew each other. Maybe he is a barbarian. "I am called Nezaglomie. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
Za is just working up the courage to ask the man whether he was here for the Event when a stunningly beautiful elf enters the publick house, drawing all eyes to her. As the woman approaches with her lovely black kitty wrapped around her neck, Za relaxes a bit. Ahh, an elf, probably a wizard with that familiar. Surely she is someone who knows the appropriate way to greet a stranger. I may get some relief, after all, from the brain-damaged man and the barbarian. The gnome brightens with a welcoming smile and hopes the elf will join this table.
After speaking quietly to her cat, the lovely woman approaches. "So...yeah, can I sit with you guys?" Her voice is soft, serene, quite gentle, but her phrasing, her overly-familiar tone, her use of the word 'guys' (!?!) is terribly jarring. As if I am not even here!
"Please, lady," Nezaglomie manages through slightly clenched teeth. Are all the bigs so terribly ... Even within her own mind, the gnome hesitates to use the word 'rude.'
