"With trolls, I draw a line connecting the bottom of the ears, drop it three inches, and split it in half. Easy shot at the spine, and you get the tongue as you're going." Chen looked aghast. "I think, Vol'jin, what he meant — " "I be knowing what he meant." The troll looked at Tyrathan. "These be Zandalari. Four inches. Their ears be set high."
Every now and again I reread Shadows of the Horde and am delighted all over again by how Vol’jin and Tyrathan interact.
i have been listening to the audiobook of shadows of the horde just about 7 years late and i’m not very far in but here are my thoughts so far-
vol’jin intentionally making stains because Tyrathan is put in charge of doing his laundry and he’s petty as hell is utterly hilarious
they mention that because humans are so small compared to pandaren that Tyrathan’s robes are hella over sized and that he;s likely wearing a female pandaren’s robes
also seriously they just CANNOT stop stressing over how small and fragile humans are compared to trolls/the world of azeroth
