Nevani shrugged at the apology, finding the statement a bit odd since it wasn't needed. She regarded the small gold as she scolded the small brown, and couldn't help but to smile again. The man's nervousness didn't go unnoticed, it was simply taken for granted, since she was, after all, probably the most beautiful woman residing in the weyr. She held her normal posture of squared shoulders, and straight back, head held high. She wasn't afraid of people, she simply misunderstood them and they, her.
As he relaxed, Nevani had started to stand, but hesitated when he asked his question. "No, no. I simply know not how to work leather, and it turned out harder than it appeared." She wasn't about to ask for help, doing so would mean spending more time with a person and possibly causing a brief good encounter to become a horrible longer encounter. Yet after she had replied she didn't resume standing. Maybe, it would be beneficial to at least try once more to make a friend. She was, after all, lonely despite her intentional avoidance of other people.
As she paused, however, she struggled to come up with anything else to say. Then as if suddenly sparked with a brilliant idea, some of her pride in having found something worth talking about showing in her voice, she asked, "What are their names?" She was looking towards the firelizards, and there was some actual curiosity in her tone.
