Wonderful! That's going to end up in Gwr, if you don't mind-- something like, "So, still alive, eh?" Perhaps too, "Well, I see you're still ugly....", and with different tones it might mean "the day brightened when you arrived", thus, suitable for use with Kash and other outlanders. I seem to recall reading that somewhere, the greeting is "Have you bathed yet?" (NOT in the sense, 'you smell'!)
