With nothing better to say, you grunt something vague.

<754/754hp 288m 598mv 8611tnl indoor waxing civilized 5 PM none> 
Before you stands a tall, majestic minotaur. His ebon fur coating
his entire body. Beneath the fur ripples of muscles, resemblant of
iron bands dance across his torso. Two log-like arms sway easily at
his torso, huge gnarled hands clenching ceaselessly at his side as
large veins flow easily up his lower arm to his biceps. A trunk of a
torso sits upon his waist, tall, strong and stout. A light coat of
black fur shimmers along this as well, leading down to a firm waist
and long, muscular legs ending powerfully in ebon-capped hooves. His
head sits upon his neck, the face of a steer. A large, chocalate brown
snout pokes out of his face, a silver hoop piercing looping his nostrils
together. Beady black eyes peer observantly from their visage over his
strongly boned countenance. Two ears poke out sharply, directly behind
them are two long, sharp horns. They complete two circles before they
end menacingly over his head.
Verzbit, a male minotaur, has some small but disgusting cuts.
