[color=8882be][i]The call for a match brought Harvey's attention to the dwarf sitting a few tables over. He hadn't noticed the dwarf come in but he looked at him carefully now. Harvey didn't recognize him, but he looked like an able bodied dwarf and Harvey hoped that the dwarf would stay awhile and aid the beleaguered people of Urdena. Harvey stood slowly, his stiff muscles protesting his movement, and shuffled over to the dwarf's table where he took a seat opposite the new arrival. He smiled at the dwarf and introduced himself before asking about the dwarf's journeys of late. [/i][/color]

[color=598527]Hullo there Master Dwarf, the Lady's blessing be upon you. My name is Harvey Klossner, I serve the Lady of the Night in this hardy town as best I can. May I have the pleasure of hearing of your travels? My father always praised the capacity of a dwarf to tell a good story, though he also said many did not like to be bothered with unwanted questions, so I apologize if I'm prying. I just haven't heard tell of any land beyond these walls for some time, except to hear that the land is dying. I hope you can tell me of something beyond the obvious, and will certainly do my best to make it worth your while if you can. [/color]

[color=8882be][i]I do my best to keep the weariness from my voice; and to keep my tone polite and hopeful. I really don't want to pry if the dwarf just wants some peace after a long and obviously painful journey into the city. However my curiosity and eagerness to be of service if I can, dictate that I at least attempt to learn something of the dwarf since he has come to take refuge in what has become the closest thing to a home town as I've ever had, despite my own recent arrival here.[/i][/color]
