Why does this servant always frown?

He's frowning because you touch yourself.

He's frowning because those tights show off his girly legs. Apparently the treadmill hasn't been invented yet.

Ever worked with a chronic complainer?

Looking for a motive? Maybe he's well aware of what's wrong in The City. Too smart for his own good.

Maybe he's got cramps.

Maybe he hates his headwear.

Maybe he thinks he deserves better, but feels powerless to change his circumstances.

Maybe he can't get laid.

Maybe his cheeks are too heavy.

My guess is that he's frowning because he always has to keep his arms by his side. The reason for that is because every time there's a gust of wind, his tunic flaps up and displays his cobblers for all to see. This is all very well if you're Marilyn Monroe (minus the cobblers bit obviously), but for servants in The City it's generally frowned upon.

Well he isn't going to be allowed to use it anyway. I found the following text(http://www.ceu.hu/medstud/manual/SRM/costumes1.htm) here.

The skirt of the thirteenth century loose tunic was widened, and separate pieces of cloth were added at the armhole. The seams run on the middle of the backline, in front and at the sides. The fourteenth-century-tunic was, therefore, tight-fitting to the waistline but loose below. No wonder it was considered "feminine," even by the contemporaries.

The slimming of the sleeves, however, resulted in further difficulties, opening a new period in tailoring. The sleeve of the period was far too tight to move the elbow or to make any movement with the arm. Therefore, part of the sleeve from the armhole to the elbow was cut with approximately 2.5 inches longer than the original. The whole sleeve was then arranged in a somehow "puffed" way in the upper part, while from the elbow to the wrist it was so tight that just a little piece of additional cloth remained at the elbow, enough to allow its free movement.

Actually I think ZB is going to enjoy this FM. :sly:
