-Interaction: [@HylianRose] Nora-

[color=tan]  "Why... would you hide a face like that..."[/color]

Nora introduced herself as the daughter to a count. [i] Pawonstya[/i] was certainly an affront to the proper pronunciation of her name. As Munir heard her name, he drew in a deeper breath. Nora Pawonska. That name sent a chill down Munir's spine. But in the best way possible. It inspired an image of a lake, a gentle breeze, the shade of trees on a hot summer day. Just as Munir was getting lost in thought, Nora asked him a question. The actual answer would be [i][color=ffce00] "Because I think it looked nice with my outfit? I am a little shy? I just recently had my heart torn out and I don't really want me be here? I'm only here so my sister doesn't tear my skin from my body?"[/color][/i] But Munir decided that that answer would have been too heavy for such an occasion. Besides, he does not want to keep opening old wounds. Not that he is seeing Nora as a 'rebound' to help him move past his recent heartbreak. Judging by Nora's physical reactions, the constant looking down at the ground and how stiff her introduction was, Munir was at a loss as to how to respond to her question.

Does he try to lighten the mood and bring some levity to the atmosphere between them? Does he just give her the actual answer and let her handle it however she will handle it? The Munir of old would have brushed past all these thoughts and just fired off whatever answer came to his mind, not considering the atmosphere...

[color=ffce00] "Ah...the veil?...well...[/color] Munir said, dropping his volume down slightly but not breaching the space currently between them. [color=ffce00] "I am a little embarrassed about it. You see. When I was younger, I was injured in a military training exercise. I have a massive scar running from my right cheek bone, down past my lips, into the side of my neck. Then. As if it was cursed, it did not heal properly. I had to had my lips and jaw wired shut for months and the wound was subsequently infected during the healing process... I am actually hideous... I hope that won't be an issue?"[/color] Munir said, his Gazalian accent slipping in and out during his explanation of why he was wearing a veil.

In the end, he chose to make a joke about it, in an attempt to lighten the mood. Would it work? probably not. But Munir determined that it was better than telling her he was recovering from a recent heartbreak...
