The brigands look like they're the most offended that Moomin sneezed.
Yeah but our litttle friend isn't all too happy as well.
"Atishoo" was once a grave insult in Brigand. While our current translations are notably in the early stages, it's thought to be something akin to this:
"Your mother was born with her foot in the mud, your father was the son of a shoe salesman, and your left hand smells of cheese".
Why this was such an offense is still unknown, but it has been found marked across the effects of less respected members of the community.
"Atishoo"
Atisshoo. FTFY.
Ok that takes this to a new level.
"How dare you interrupt our stroll with your sneeze!?"
Well, that was a long setup, when the brigands only show up in episode 82 of 91.
