[Darkleer shifts from foot to foot, positively ill at ease. He doesn't understand why this seadweller is being so pleasant to him--positively kind, even--and he's waiting for the other shoe to drop. This is why he simply nods stiffly when she gives her name and doesn't respond with his own. Once she knows he's the E%patriot, he'll have to be on guard again, and being spoken to like this... it's nice. He's forgotten what it's like to see a friendly face.]
