Swiftcurrent Creek Within the sound of silence

Tybault felt conflicted; he didn't want to offend Arric, but Lestan was pissing him off. Had he heard anything Tybault said at all? The name wasn't important, and he'd already given the most obvious details. He didn't know what else he could say about Ophelia. But then he thought about her, really thought about her, and his decision was made for him. He let go of his anger, not for Arric but for his sister. If someone was taking an interest, he would follow this lead as far as it got him.
So he was friendlier when he said, Alright. I can tell you more about her... personality, He shot a brief glance at Arric to express his gratitude for the suggestions, because he wasn't sure what he'd have said to Lestan otherwise. Sure, I can repeat myself for you, or something similarly rude, probably. Tybault decided to start with the obvious, the first thing anyone would ever notice about Ophelia; he'd already told Arric, so why not? But you have to understand that she's unwell. She gets this far-away look in her eyes, and she doesn't speak or do anything without being told to. If you met her, you'd know. It's impossible to miss. If he didn't recognize that, Tybault felt, this was a waste of time. But he would go through with it anyway. For Ophelia.
