World of Warcraft - Interbellum (IC Thread)

[Plaids]

Jakk'ari never quite understood the intricacies of displaying one's body in cultures outside of the inland desserts of Tanaris.
Being scantily clad could be used for displays of intimacy, aggression, confidence, or pride depending on context and attitude. Typically, the dessert encouraged loose clothing exposed to the air.

What was puzzling about this scenario was the arcane adept of the party who had faced down demons and raptors was now quivering behind cover due to her attire.
Such attire would have been preferred by Farraki attempting to hunt stealthily in the desert whose skin was the best camouflage in the dessert and needed as much skin as possible exposed to the air to cool them while they chased prey to exhaustion and heat stroke. Though they would prefer a more sensible brown than a vibrant red.

Luckily there were some members of the party who could identify with Isaera's plight better than Jakk'ari.

Marion, Aleana, we're heading out to the keep soon. Get Isaera to come out while Mor'Lag and I get some directions.
Marion would surely resolve this scenario. Given her lack of clear weakness when compared to Mor'Lag's temperamental episodes in the company of other ogres or Isaera's theatricality and lack adventuring experience.

Turning towards the squat green figure perspirating in the humid heat Jakk'ari and Morlag's shadows envelope the goblin hopefully providing relief from the heat instead of intimidation.
Good to see you sir. We are the ones sent by the Opal Collocation. We'll be ready to leave in just a few minutes. Don't worry about our luggage we pack light and can more than we need.

Jakk'ari gestures towards Mor'Lag to bring attention to Mor'Lag's asset of strength and size.

Spoiler: Jakkari's perception of the weaknesses amongst the rest of the party

Jakk'ari remembers Mor'Lag getting angry at the tavern in Brackenwall or saddened by not being able to join the StoneMaul ogres. So he kind of sees Mor'Lag as the kid who got held back a few grades due to trouble at home but is a good deep down. He also remembers Isaera showing off at Janene's and on the boat as well as her bug bites from the first stretch of Duskwallow marsh. So he sees Isaera as kind of the youngest sibling of the group. He doesn't really know Marion's yet. Hopefully he will soon learn.
