>Are you an elf? Half-elf maybe? Your ears look pointy.
What? That's stupid. Of course I'm not any part elf, my ears aren't--...Well, I guess they're kind of pointy...Shit, are they? I'm pure human as far as I'm aware, I mean--Elves are pretty and graceful and strong! And I'd have, like...Magical abilities or something. I don't think I've ever met an elf. Are they magical? It doesn't matter, I'm...Mostly-kind-of-probably sure I'm just human. Pointy ears...
+5 self-consciousness to ears
>Loudly compare own chest to the orc's. Then to anyone else in earshot.
I begin to loudly stammer to the orc about how I understand it's pain about ambiguous boobs-and-lack-of, but I become so nervous under it's unnerving glare that my words just become random sounds.
"I--Y'know, ahh..Uhm--Yer chest--Mine--gah...S-sorry!"
It just continues to glare at me. I feel as if my bond has weakened with it. Damn.
>Did you see the neighborhood you're in? There is no way this place stocks anything costing more than 5c a pint.
Hey, this is the nicer part of the not-nice part of the city! Good enough for such an important interview, at least. There are fancier places to eat at, and places that sell better drinks but don't really have a bar, so...Well, it's the only public place that really offers this service. And it is pretty cheap...
>So, why is something as scrawny as you trying to get hired for such a position? Is 'acquiring items in a convenient manner' no longer working?
My life hasn't been a fun or honest one for the longest time. Longest time meaning ever, actually. I'm...Not comfortable relieving the majority of those memories at this time, it might screw up how I act here. This would be my first real job ever. What's more honest than blindly swearing to protect a foreign ruler? I'd have tons of respect, I'd get a spine, and the best part...The lady running this thing has an entire barracks where I can live in. For FREE! Same with food, and clothes! And I get paid on top of it! I mean, that's paradise! I can count the amount of times I've slept on a real bed, with a real blanket, under a roof I can legally be under on my hands! This is a real chance to turn my life around. I'm ready to leave my entire life behind and contribute to the city. Or, a foreign woman to begin with, and then the city if she like...Wins it, or however they're competing....
>Skip drink, strut to the interview
Right, a drink is stupid. What was I thinking? I'm about to meet with the captain of a private guard. She doesn't need cheap ale. Okay...Here I go.
