Any misgivings or unhappiness drained out of the young man in favor of sheer embarrassment. He practically sulked as he sat there, thinking back on that awkward moment in his room. Talian wasn't even sure why he liked Erisi, who was rude to him from the start and was obviously a rude, cantankerous person in general. He squeezed his hands tighter.
"Yes! That did sound, er...worse than I meant it," he mumbled. "We were having some wine together, and my knots were laying on my bed so I pulled them under the covers." Shards, this story sounded crazy. "And he thought I was fiddling with the sheets to taunt him, so he um...well, he kissed me."
He left the depth and nature of said kiss to the imagination, though judging by his expression of disbelieving indecision and confusion, it wouldn't be hard to figure out. "I didn't mean for it to go anywhere. I couldn't even, I mean..." You're screwing up! "I didn't even know people did that! Well, I knew, but I'd never really seen it outside of rumors and such..."
Talian's eyes widened at B'jin's exclamation. He wasn't expecting B'jin to know who Erisi was. He surely wasn't expecting this kind of reaction, either! He shrank back and cringed as B'jin pitched forward, cracking his lower jaw on the table. "Oh! Are you okay?!" Talian asked, leaping to his feet and dashing around the table. He extended one thin hand to place it under B'jin's jaw, into on checking it over to make sure the man wasn't hurt. Instinct.
"Is..there something wrong with that?" he asked awkwardly, back on the topic of Erisi.
