Politics aside, [ Alistair's voice continues, with scolding emphasis aimed at himself, ] who wears skirts better, do you think? Mages or Templars?

Isn't a robe more of a dress?

[ important questions about fashion taxonomy ]

[byblow]

Sure, but the bottom half of a dress is a skirt. And it's the bottom half I'm concerned about.

[ Can you hear the eyebrows wag, wagging the wags of waggy men. ]

[alankazam]

[ as mildly as humanly possible: ]

If there were only bottoms, that wouldn't work at all.

[byblow]

Or it would work very well.

[alankazam]

You need to keep half a shirt, at least. Frostbite of one nipple is a misfortune. Two looks like carelessness.

[byblow]

I don't know. I think I'd appreciate the symmetry.

[alankazam]

That's not symmetry. That's a blank canvas.

[byblow]

Surely losing nipples to frostbite would leave scars. Nicely matched ones.

[alankazam]

Fair point. A blank canvas, stippled with gangrene.

[byblow]

Minimalist art. Beautiful.

And you never answered my question.

[alankazam]

I suppose it depends on if I have to wear the skirt. That's rather cold too, isn't it?

[ says the dude who showed up naked ]

[byblow]

Only when it's cold out. And they seem to get by, somehow.

[alankazam]

I assume they all lift the hem when it's warm.

[byblow]

Of course. Nearly to the hips. It's very dashing.
