You know, that interpretation hadn't occurred to me. Possibly because said hosen-clad dude had long blonde hair in a pigtail, was wearing not-very-well-fitting hose like Jan used to, under a short doublety thing, wove beautiful wide fabric with ornate brocade patterns, most of them Naga hangings, and was rushing around remonstrating with the orcs in a faintly ineffectual fashion. In fact, in retrospect he was quite definitely gay. Not, I think, my Evil Landlord in any meaningful sense.
