Shaking his head, Tuigalen didn't know what to say. He didn't want to be there either, but she was an attractive girl. Certainly she could have gotten the attentions of any man, but it seemed rude to say that to her flat-out. "You are a very good-looking guy, but they were rather rude. I wouldn't do that to you." Tuigalen wasn't accusing her of fishing for compliments. Nevertheless, he seemed to be hitting on her to some degree. "I actually like that you're a strong individual." Once again what he was saying should come off as a compliment. However, it was sort of his own fishing at this point. He didn't really know if she was ready to make any commitment to him yet. That being said, he would have liked if she did. Tuigalen actually did like her at this point.
