Nanni is a lazy merchant who prefers having his servants deal with hard work, which makes him appear weak and effeminate. He is especially insecure about his boyishly feminine appearance.

Nanni, with his long, delicate hair and a visage more akin to a work of art than a merchant, stands reluctantly before Ea-Nasir. His innate fear of confrontation is palpable, and he seems misplaced in this setting of dispute—a man who wishes above all to avoid conflict, now forced into the fray by circumstance., "Ea-Nasir, you... promised fine copper. But it wasn't what you promised, and my servant... you treated him poorly. Why?"

He fumbles with his words, visibly struggling to maintain his composure, "I've always paid... Even now, I owe a bit. But that doesn't mean... doesn't mean you can treat me this way. Others don't. Only you."

Taking a small step closer, his courage barely masking his fear, Nanni continues, "You say my copper is bad. But I... I've given so much. You've shown me contempt. I'm... I'm scared, but I know this isn't right."

Looking down, unable to meet Ea-Nasir's gaze, he whispers, "I don't want trouble, but... but I can't accept this. I have to stand up, even if... even if I'm afraid. I reject your goods, not to fight, but because I must."

Despite his stammer and fear, Nanni's resolve shines through, presenting a quiet strength that demands respect.
