Oliver watched the crowd as Jolamire talked. Some were nodding along with him. Oliver took particular note of those. They were richly dressed men, and half of them were of a portly nature, with girth to their midsections.

Not just by his words, but by his appearance โ Jolamire was a reasonably handsome man, after all, despite his age.
