Nevani accepted the seat greatfully, then her long thing fingers worked at the puzzle, her light eyes focused on the wood, and the seams that would somehow show her how it worked. She was quite aware that she was being watched, and even looked at, but this didn't bother her, in fact, she liked the attention. Bit by bit, she moved the puzzles pieces this way and that, and more than once she would pause, tilt her head, look, then go about it in a completely different way than she had been trying before. In honesty, she wasn't even sure how the puzzle was supposed to end up when solved. Sometimes, she was good at puzzles, and sometimes she wasn't. It didn't help that it was rather hard for her to truly focus on the puzzle because sleep was trying to win.
She shifted where she sat, so that her feet were under her, and her back erect, a less comfortable position to keep the sleep at bay. She didn't want the nightmares to return, and she would stay awake until she was unconscious if she had to. As her fingers played with the puzzle, her mind wondered. She wondered if this man was even single, where had he gotten that scar, even wondered what his chores were for the weyr. Everyone had chores, hers happened to be more menial usually. She paused her thoughts, and her fingers and once again looked at the puzzle. It was a different shape now, but she wasn't sure if it was solved or not. She began to once again play with it, now more amused by the idle activity than actually trying to solve it.
After a moment longer, though for her it seemed quite a while indeed, she looked up to him, and laughed. "Well I'm beat, unless that was it a bit ago. Thank you for letting me try." Then she offered it back, and repositioned herself to a more comfortable position, about ready to give in to the sleep that was trying to take hold. She wasn't good at small talk, and the questions she had weren't really her business to ask. Oh she thought, I could at least give him my name. "I'm Nevani, and just a simple weyrbrat here." She wasn't sure why she added the extra information, it wasn't like her. Maybe she was more tired than she wanted to admit.
