Gallus leaned to one side again while he listened, but instead of leaning on his palm, he propped up the side of his head with his fingers, looking more straight and attentive. Ri'vashi might have trailed off her own dialogue, but Gallus was having no trouble keeping up. However, he was a little too much under the influence to be tactful about it.

Ri'vashi's awkward pause was eventually replaced by a knowing chuckle through Gallus' nose. The chuckle turned into a laugh as Gallus' mouth opened. In his next breath, he settled his laughter and spoke without giving Ri'vashi compromise. "You do, don't you..." Gallus' eyes did not leave Ri'vashi's, even if she wasn't looking. "You're interested in someone now, aren't you? I can see it." Gallus turned to lean his chin on his palm, looking away and feigning contemplation with a small smile, "Now, with the few people you've been interacting with socially, who could possibly be on your mind?" Gallus tapped his index finger on his chin twice before his eyes went to Ri'vashi again, "If it's who I think it is, I should have hoped that you were wiser."
