Dukhan would've loved nothing more than to buy the thief a drink. Anyone with the skill, bravery or stupidity to try to steal something as large and conspicuous as his gun probably had some interesting stories to tell.

Alas, Dukhan new that priorities were priorities. The future of this child was on the line and he simply didn't have time to exchange tales with a bandit. Besides, Rose was obviously made extremely uncomfortable by the odd man. Perhaps some other time...

[color=a36209]"Oh, well thank you for the assistance, then."[/color] Dukhan said, his smile unwavering. [color=a36209]"But for future reference, you should probably know, it's actually the fashion in Yazara to wear straps like this loosely."[/color]

His countenance shifted to reflect just a hint of menace. [color=a36209]"It's a message to errant cutpurses. Something to convey that I know how to protect my belongings."[/color]

In a moment, the menace disappeared. [color=a36209]"Just thought you might find that interesting!"[/color]
