A small bit of relief overcame Vaeri that she didn't barge into a conversation that she was not apart of like an inebriated family member during the holidays (a quirk that she noticed humans had to deal with too). Fiona did not seem particularly interest with continuing conversation with either Derrix or her, deciding to inquire about Sana's family before leaving to don equipment of her own. 

Vaeri caught the movement of Derrix's eyes as his gaze jumped around. It wasn't a reaction she was unused to, but usually it did not come from somebody she had spent hours talking to. Then again, human vision was rather poor in dim lighting and he did wear that restricting helmet. He probably did not realize before.

"So you noticed?" Vaeri asked, rubbing the tip of her left ear as if to accentuate its inhuman length and pointedness. "Is this your first time meeting an elf?" He obviously wanted to say something. Perhaps he did not wish to offend or appear ignorant.
