I got the impression he was threatening Jarod....<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Malic looked down at the mass of mixed oils and dirt running down his arm for a moment in puzzlement. How did that get their? Then his eyes narrowed as he look over at his crew-mates. Three of them seem to be enjoying picking on a small gnome, which he really didn't pay it much attention at the time, besides gnomes were footstool. Smiling he grabbed the makeshift blob and started to walk towards them. "Fatter then a goose, for a gnome you say? Oh no mate. Captain doesn't like those that toss his meals about on his ship. Thankfully I've saved your dinner in my hand right here. Now open your trap once more and I'll make sure you eat your vittles." <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Maybe it was just bad wording<em>'gnomes were footstool'</em>, along with stepping towards them meaning probably all four of<em>'them'</em>. Follow by his sentence suggests he's agreeing with the trio and intends to get his own kicks out of it. It is slightly ambiguous so I can't quite tell which way, the way I originally read it, it seemed he was against the gnome. If it gets corrected I'll update my post accordingly (<em>or completely remove it</em>).
