Quilriana smiled fondly at Gangleri and reached across the table to place her hand over one of his, stilling the shuffling. "Underneath it all, I see your truth. You're a good man, Gangleri. A little lost at the moment but when you find your way, I'll pack my bag and go on an adventure with you." She gave his hand a gentle squeeze and withdrew her own back to her lap.
Gangleri had been through too much too quickly and he needed time and space to find himself once more. Quilriana didn't fault him for the ways he did it with cheating at cards or meaningless flings of the moment but she did sometimes worry his mouth would land him in trouble when he'd had too much to drink. There was always a quiet sense of relief when he crossed the threshold once more.
"Did you want to play a few rounds before we retire for the night?" She glanced to the cards, unsure if he simply needed to have something for his hands to do or if he was still in the mood to socialize. After what he had shared earlier about his student, more drink and rest may have been what was needed now. "I can also get you another mug of ale and bring it to your room."
