Muluc looks you over. "You don't seem to be afraid, yet you are hiding. Curious."

At this point Aethyl wanders into the drinking hole, looking around aimlessly, and saunters up to the other end of the bar. He does not notice Cian or Mulac.

However, Cian you see your cousin bellying up to the bar!

"No, I am not afraid. However, prudence is often called for in pursuit of a great cause, a righteous cause. Just let me know if you would like to learn more. But don't hesitate too long as I can't imagine we'll be in this town much longer. There's one of my cousins now." I call the bartender over and order a drink for Aethyl. Whenever I'm noticed by him I raise my glass to him.

Aethyl doesn't notice you quite yet, but Muluc carries on. "So, Cian, what really made you stop a perfect stranger in the street?"

“To be perfectly honest I was captivated by your tattoos. I recently underwent a bit of a change in life and am thinking about commemorating it with ink. I don’t suppose you could be persuaded to do this for me?”

After a pause, “I hope that’s not another offensive question.”

Muluc laughs. "Not at all. We Tuhlen sometimes sell our art." You've snagged his interest. "Tell me more about this tattoo you want, where you want it, and why."

"I want something that demonstrates fluidity, motion and power. Something that is asymmetric. Something that when you look at it it reminds you of the powerlessness you feel when you see an approaching storm. Chaotic, beautiful and powerful. I want it on my face so that there is no question in the minds of those I encounter know what I represent." [would it be too cliche to ask for it in blue like traditional Celtic face paint?]

Muluc's brow furrows in clear confusion. "But your people tattoo as mine do. Why come to me for advice?"

[Do Elunians tattoo? I thought you said it was only two other races? Is he mistaken or am I?]

(Kindor do, and Muluc has mistaken you for that.)

"You might be somewhat mistaken friend, we Elunians do not have this practice."

Muluc scowls. "I thought you were the same people." Now he's the one being rude but not meaning to be!

I laugh heartily. "It's an easy mistake to make friend. I'm sure that for someone from your region must see all of us northerners as the same. The Kindor live south of us." I flag down the bartender for another drink for myself and Muluc.
