A circle. If felt like the two had just walked in a verbal figurative circle and hadn't gone anywhere at all. No progress appeared to have been made despite Nejerc's attempt otherwise. Why had he made the attempt in such a fashion anyway? He put it aside for further thought as he had many other thoughts as he continued to listen to Talian.
He was clearly a good man in at least his ethics. Nejerc had a feeling that had it been S'kef then Talian would have treated him no different than he had D'ren. It was a conflicting emotion that flickered in his gaze as he wondered how he should feel about that. To say that Nejerc himself could be so indifferent if it had been him wasn't something Nejerc could say easily, especially now.
Nejerc didn't mean to push for Talian to feel as if he had to justify himself to him but it appeared he had. Nejerc wished for one thing and got another, it appeared that socializing with words was not as simple a matter as Nejerc had thought it for so long. Just another reason not to talk so much as he already had.
Letting the silence grow as he faced Talian unmoving the shift of light in his eyes was the only sign of his emotion that he didn't attempt to vocalize again. Instead Nejerc gave Talian an inclination of his head. “Master Healer Talian.” It was spoken in a farewell tone, the full use of his rank meant as a simple respect that Nejerc couldn't apparently properly voice any other way.
He clearly meant to leave by his tone, and wasn't going to address any more of their conversation than he already had. Opening his mouth any more only made the situation worse after all.
At least this time Talian hadn't appeared AS offended as he had last time. A small comfort in the face of the master healers expressions of discomfort. And though Nejerc was uncomfortable as Talian's expression said he was, he did his best not to display it as the healer did.
