[b][u]Knife-ear.[/u][/b] A term he was becoming more and more familiar with as he traveled through this new land. It was a word with a duragatory meaning pointed towards the shape of his ears. Something that he took little stock in. 

"You are to remove your stock from their confines and take them to the docks where you are to put them on a ship bound to Valeria at once."

"Oh yeh, on who's authority?"

"By order of the Korenthin'dir, Patron Diety of the kingdom of Valeria and by me Rinn the White, Knight Commander of the Watch of Valeria!

"No you listen here, I am not sending my wares across the seas for the sake of some [b][u]Fat Chocobo...[/u][/b]"

Before the man had finished his sentence Rinn had drawn the sword at his side and held it to the man's throat. It was one thing to wield personal comments about him, but attacking the patron of his people was one thing that Rinn would not stand for.

"I have traveled many miles, traversed many seas to reach this place by order of your [b][u]king Cid Highwind II[/u][/b].

Um I do have some things I'd like to address due to some contextual issues.

Knife-Ear while still a racial slure doesn't carry much meaning when most of the population isn't human.

Fat Chocobo, another insult wouldn't work as something for a Navirese Merchant to even know, the Patrons aren't exactly celebrities in this age. But as Deities they're known to the neighboring kingdoms but not one from another continent. 

And finally Cid Highwind isn't the king. He's the Head Wizard. The King is a Fairy which will only emphasize the first part of the issues.

Now for a simple solution for the first 2 issues:

The Merchant is from your continent as well as from a nearby kingdom so it makes sense that he'd discriminate against pointy ear people as well as know who your patron is. 

But that last part. Is that an intentional misunderstanding by the character?

EDIT:

Uruvion you gave a wonderful description! Plenty of details for future* use!

*future, that part that comes next but in this case, soon.
