[Nurumaiel]

Eohsecg felt himself blushing. What had he just said? That was the kind of thing you thought, not the kind of thing you said to a young woman a few minutes after you had met her, whether it was true or not. He had to look away from Rie. He knew Talômi was glaring at him, he knew everyone around the table was watching him. But he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Firramer saw the young man's uncomfortable situation and came to the rescue quickly. "I agree, lady," he said. "You are very beautiful." Rie blushed again. "After all, nobody around the table could deny the fact, could they?" Nobody protested to this. "Eohsecg, I haven't seen you in awhile. Tell me what you've been doing recently."

Shooting a grateful look at Firramer, Eohsecg told him a series of small little tales of no importance, promising himself he wouldn't be so outspoken in the future and that he would make sure to get onto Talômi's good side later that evening.
