His nose twitched again.

	"Yes," Dannisus mumbled, "It happens all too often. Myti are rare, and males are [i]especially[/i] valuable as slaves outside of Sylsashia." His eyes wandered off to trace the crude carvings in their table. Eager to change the topic, he tapped his book against the tabletop once again and inflated his expression with an air of joy. For some reason, addressing Lui's earlier comment seemed like it would be an awfully obtuse inquiry. She'd seemed even less at ease around people than he was, and even managed to upset [i]herself[/i]. He looked at her lone ruby eye for a moment before returning a small smile and glancing at Aelih once more. He couldn't get a read on the elf, much less infer their intents or cause of their quiet nature. But that didn't bother him. Not nearly as much as as Lani- "Mya-" He mewled unintentionally yet again. "What brings you two into this, um- To Nadska?" His hand fell limp on top of the little booklet he'd been holding with a little [i]plop.[/i] "I'm only passing through myself- I'm sure you've heard the same from most Myti." His right ear spun around, and quickly after, his entire upper body. The feet of his chair ground against he hardwood with a loud [i]squeal[/i] as he jerked himself towards the source of the noise. Taverns were always full of the drunk and disorderly, or a few overbearing presences. Fauve's laughter shouldn't have taken him by surprise. He turned back towards his new acquaintances shaking his head in disapproval. "Sorry," Dannisus hissed, "I'm not overly fond of abrupt noises." He pulled his chair back towards the table and waited patiently for either Lui or Aelih to respond, or shrug off his question, with his hands flat against the scratched wood. He mouthed the word [i]'irritating'[/i] while motioning backwards with his eyes quite quickly.

	His nose twitched once more. He couldn't help but stare at Lui's eye, shifting occasionally to Aelih's spear. They seemed like nice enough people, [i]surely.[/i]
