Garanin let out a short breath when Dolvin's hand came down on his shoulder. He was tenser than he wanted to be, and the elder dwarf was right, after all. They were all here to learn, regardless of their specific circumstances. 

"Aye. Aye, yer right." He gave Vale a moment of appraisal before nodding. "It's good to meet ya, sir Azsier. You've my apologies for my...wariness. Have'nae met any Dark Elves for meself, and I let the stories get into my head I s'pose. I hope for both our sakes that this is the worst encounter we're to have." It was an odd apology, he supposed, but Garanin didn't much care. He was trying to be open with the other students here, at least open about how he saw them. To be totally frank, he wasn't sure what to think of this Vale Azsier. He carried himself with the weight of a true warrior, as opposed to that of a soldier. 

It left him both intimidated and interested in this strange individual. After giving the elf a few moments to retreat, Garanin turned back to Dolvin and spoke. "It's been good to meet you, Dolvin. Any idea when Master Rovi will be around? I'd like teh ask him a few questions a'fore we get started."
