Æthercoil Introductions
Tark has seen some 'redhead' elves of assorted subspecies in the past, but that was in less reputable areas of cities. While Jamie is dressed far more respectably (and covered) for it to just be a dye job.

Wait, Zerry IS pointing and staring. Should he then?... Nah, it would probably be less endearing from a half-orc to compliment someone's skin. So he just nods, and says "Hello, Jamie. I'm glad to see so many pleasant people around here."
