She exchanged a quick look with Nuru that told her everything she needed to know--she had seen the same look on her mother's face when speaking with friends about Rie and Talômi. She pushed a lock of red hair behind her ear, and dove in headfist. "Greetings, young kali! My name is Rie. What's yours?"
