[ For a moment, the flirting demeanor is gone because he is just so glad to talk to someone from home (that could be a big mistake) and because he desperately wants to complain about these stupid clothes. He's fortunate enough that the collar is high enough to cover his bite marks, but that's literally the only thing that the clothes have going for them. ]
I'd be laughed all the way out of the city! My reputation might never recover.
[ He sighs dramatically. Here he is, having to wear these terrible rags. His life is truly the worst! He is in all other respects simply A Regular Normal Guy! Please believe him that this is the worst thing he's ever endured.
Having now gotten that out of his system and having gotten confirmation that they're both from the same place, he slides back into the much more comfortable tone of flirting. Present clothing be damned. ]
You're used to wearing better, too. I can see it in the way you carry yourself. Even these rags can't hide the beauty underneath. [ He's about to say something lowkey racist about Menzoberranzan but he thinks better of it! Good for him! ] You have a confidence about you. Paint a picture for me, will you? What does Jarlaxle wear on a good day?
