Gallus continued eating as Ri'vashi spoke. Unlike her, he had been eating whenever she paused, so he was almost finished.

"I should expect as much, yes. Probably full of moon sugar as well." Gallus commented. "You know, shortly after we landed in Senchal, we all went to wait at a local dockside tavern where we would apparently meet up with contacts from the Senchal clan. We were waiting for a while, so I ended up ordering a drink. 'The local speciality' was what I requested, and I swear, it was just water with moon sugar in it." Gallus nodded to one side, looking at the table with a raised eyebrow, "It might as well have been moon sugar with water in it for how strong it was." Gallus stopped and raised a hand, "Now, don't get me wrong, I do love mead, but...there's such a thing as too sweet." He sighed. "It has been too long since I've had a nice, crisp ale. There's nothing like it."

Gallus finished his dinner in one more mouthful and leaned back in his chair with his hands behind his head. "Anyway, back to what we were saying earlier. You say your personal life has been too dull for any tarnishes. I find it hard to believe that the only embarrassing experience you've had in life was to be honest with an Altmer. Surely you've had [i]some[/i] other excitement in your life. Have you?"

Perhaps he was sick of being a coward for so long or perhaps it was simply adolescent defiance. Tzirret's frustration turned into outright anger at this point. He bared his teeth and flattened his ears, bit still held onto his arm. "I want to help my friends," he said stubbornly without giving Peiter or Sabine eye contact, "Peiter and Sabine do [i]not[/i] understand!" With that, Tzirret took his dinner, stood up, and walked off as quickly as he could in a huff.

"Tzirret! Wait!" Sabine called out and reached out a hand, but there was no response.

It appeared that Tzirret was heading off to an unoccupied table further away to finish his dinner.

Sabine looked to Peiter with something of a lost expression. "Has...Tzirret ever done that before?"

Tzirret had his back to them both as he started on his dinner. His ears were still flattened and he was hunched over, angrily chewing his food.
