Let’s see… Riure automatically did an assessment of the newcomer’s voice and sound movements. She was the one with the alluring accent, and kept using words that Riure didn’t understand. She wondered if Rosario spoke Amandril. Probably not. That would be funny, though, with her accent. A slight huffing laugh escaped her lips.

“Did I tell you about the books?” Ehud asked sleepily from someplace to Riure’s right. Rosario had sent him to bed, and Riure wondered if he was her younger brother. That would be neat.

“Books?” Riure murmured quietly to Sadiq, but Rosario didn’t seem to hear. Rubbing her arm, Riure realized that a warm glow was coming from her left. Fire? She didn’t smell smoke.

“Mm.” Tension grew as Rosario apparently shifted. Awkwardness set in. “So, what are you good at?”

Riure shrugged, barely stifling a chuckle. “I’ve never had anyone ask me that before.” She thought for a moment. “I’m not sure what gifts I’ve been equipped with. Since I feel called to speak of Adanyi and so far I’ve found all the help that I need, I guess…” she was aware that she was mumbling as she thought aloud. “Laughing. I’m good at laughing. And making dumb jokes that only I think are funny. What about you?”
