"Don't they teach you that even if you don't mean to inflict harm, harm can be inflicted? At least I think it comes up in another ballad that I won't be singing." He wasn't yelling at Talian or throw a hissy fit, so that meant that he wasn't as upset anymore as he first seemed. There was a strange sort of acceptance in the situation, or at least peace in knowing that Talian hadn't intended to hit on him. But, Faranth, he did wish the man had meant it. He was never going to survive this Candidacy without an ample amount of distractions, and Talian would have been such a good one.
"I'm sure it won't. I am going to go back to my own room now." It was less that he wanted to leave, and more that he was giving Talian enough respect to let the man recuperate from the encounter. Talian still looked to be shaken up, especially if he was nearly cowering in front of him. What did Talian expect, for Erisi to hit him? Erisi probably would not have enough weight behind a punch if he was even inclined to physically hurt Talian. "I'll see you some time, and hopefully we won't get some awkward mixed signals sent between us." Erisi's pride wouldn't tolerate another incident like this.
With a soft groan he climbed off the bed. After a few moments of consideration, however, he left his wine bottle with Talian. He figured that the healer would need it more than him right now. Erisi did not bother to glance back to Talian as he left the room, not because he was mad at the man, but because there was no reason to. He had said what he wanted to say, and what had needed to be said.
