"My pleasure. You sure got a ways farther than I had." He accepted the puzzle when it was given back. Firah stared at it for a moment before moving a piece then pulling one out of the puzzle completely. "See look." He showed it to her. "You got it to where a piece came out. Never done that before." Putting a bit of jerky in his mouth as he attempted to pull more of the pieces out of the puzzle, he chewed it slowly until the woman gave him her name. "Mm." He made a noise as he attempted to swallow the meat so he could actually respond. It wasn't common for him to forget to ask someone's name.
"Firah." He said while continuing to fiddle with the puzzle. "Journeyman Beastcrafter. Though I tend to hunt more than work with the animals. Most of them aren't my specialty." Weyrbrat huh? Was she born in the South or was she exiled there with parents? He was curious but didn't want to pry. One didn't bluntly ask a woman about her past unless it was necessary. Then again the Weyrbred women tended to be a little more free when it came to giving up information, as far as he'd been able to tell. Firah made a triumphant noise when he was able to pull another piece out of the puzzle, it was becoming easier to deconstruct now that the first piece had been removed.
"Look at that, guess the puzzle just needed a woman's touch to get it straightened out." This was said both as a serious statement and a teasing one, the intent behind it was playful not insulting. It took him only a few minutes more to completely disentangle all of the pieces. Putting the pieces in a small pile on the ground, Firah flashed the woman a smile. "Nevani, was it? Do you..." She looked like she was on the verge of falling asleep. "Ah, nevermind. Don't mind me, I should let you rest." If he couldn't get some sleep, at least someone else should. Plus, he didn't mind if he went back to sitting in silence. It was a quiet morning anyway and Rukbat had come out from behind the clouds making shadows from the leaves of the tree they were sitting under which added to the calm atmosphere. It was nice to have a day where nothing hectic was going on and there was little to do but finish chores and relax. Looking back on the previous night, he was lucky it had happened the night before, otherwise he might not have had any time to rest.
