Perhaps he was shy or something, had difficulty talking to new people. Already Talvi was starting to get the impression that she had misjudged him slightly. He was talking, offering her little bits of information enough that although not the most in-depth conversation ever, it actually had a chance of continuing rather than those blank stares he had initially cast her direction. She refrained from pointing out that this was better, willing to let those initial awkward first moments fade away for now.
"That is some feat." She would comment, words somewhat admiringly. Her own life had been spent mainly in the Northern Lands. Once or twice she had ventured further South and of course she had in fact been born in one of the Islands towards the South. She certainly couldn't boast the same achievement for her own explorations, it was nothing really. "Tell me, what is your favourite land?" Something to encourage him to speak some more as well as hearing about some of the other places in Alacritia.
