One of them, a Great Khan, steps forth and slaps the noseless musician on his back:
- Cheer up, Noseless Arbeau! Why not give us a little song? Surely you can spare... just one? Just remember not to sing through your nose!
(The men of the Steppe guffaw at this. Arbeau The Noseless stares at his lute in sadness)
The Great Khan looks at the bard mischievously.
- Say, do you know which people make the best slaves? Now some would say without hesitating: The Elf. Their bodies are so delicate and alluring! But they are very arrogant and difficult to break. Others prefer the hardy Dwarf, but they are too stubborn and hold fast to grudges and mistreatment. I would not relish a pickaxe in the head when I least expected it! There are of course many creatures who could serve a whole manner of different uses and purposes... get it? A "hole" manner of uses?
