Watching the Fae work was great entertainment as they drank. But the little creatures didnโt stop with just Tian.
Once the Fox was massaged to sleep and groomed to their standard, they started in on the hair and beards of the Dwarves, grooming them to perfection.
With Fae Magic and tiny hands, there were no stray hairs, which would save much time when it was time to prepare everyone for the wedding ceremony.
It was set for the next afternoon, as most of the guests could only stay a few days, and the Dwarves beards would hold a braid at least that long without any issues.
"Who knew that Dwarves could be so stylish?" Lord Drodh asked as the Fae worked to beautify the guests, who were happy to let them do as they pleased as long as this top quality ale kept coming.
Azov, the Immortal Regent, laughed. "You have no idea. Once upon a time, the Hill Dwarves had entire clans of raiders who put an immense amount of work into looking impressive.
The Mountain Dwarves were always less concerned with it, and preferred golden accessories to flashy tattoos and war paint. But it is certainly part of Dwarven culture."
A few of the gathered Dwarves chuckled. There were still Hill Dwarves who wore the old fashions, but the days of Hill Dwarven Raiders were in the distant past.
Once the magic had faded from the surface, even the Hill Dwarves had retreated underground for most of their lives to preserve as much of their magic as they could. That had thoroughly changed their culture.
"Perhaps we should bring back some of the old traditions. I think that being a bit more fashionable might give people a better impression of the Dwarves." Slate joked.
The Fae giggled. "We have Dwarven Tattoo artists here, if you want some proper Dwarven tattoos."
Karl turned to face their conversation.
"You know, one of the ladies is a Witch Doctor, and sheโs got a skill for magical tattoos that grant permanent buffs. You should see if she wants to visit your tattoo artists before she has to return home.
I bet that she would love to know the skill."
One of the Dryads pulsed with magic, and then a second later, he smiled. "The ladies have two volunteers who would like to know how to magical tattoos. The Witch Doctor called Morgana, and the Blood Destruction Demonic Spider called Rae Bloodbath."
Karl rolled his eyes, while Tian sleepily giggled.
Of course, Rae would be interested in an art that involved stabbing people hundreds of times per second.
Even Cara was interested in the art form. Not so much because it involved stabbing, though that was fun. But because it was graffiti on living creatures.
