She managed to have cracked a smile into him. Her first questions were what he planned on answering, if he'd seen anyone. Thankfully, no, which was what allowed him to give her the majority of his own gaze. Of course though, she didn't hold all of his attention yet.<strong>"The only faces I recognize are the bartender's, the orc's, and the one who smothers men in their sleep. You're new, unless I just haven't seen you before. What would your name be?"</strong>He never forgot a face. But names were tricky and elusive.<br/><br/>His name. Although it was an appropriate question, he was cautious to share it. Then, what had attracted him there. Almost hitting two sensitive points. Jiroph's smile faded, and it didn't take long for it to either since his smile was a small one anyway. He stared at her for a moment, judging her. This was a large place, and he wasn't sure if she'd be the type to kiss and tell, so to speak.<strong>"Jiroph. I wasn't quite treated last time I was here... Which was a while ago."</strong>He hadn't even made it to the room he had been given when interrupted. He looked upon her, wondering how she'd take that news. Of course, he left unsatisfied but he was attempting to think of a more modest way to say so. He wasn't sure what she'd have on her mind if he had said something like that.<br/><br/>His eyes glanced over the tavern once again.<strong>"Speaking of faces and time past. There is one that I don't see here."</strong>The once again impassive gaze returned to her. He wasn't denying her by any means, merely curious to know where the girl who had mated with werewolves went.<strong>"There used to be another girl here, with fiery hair and a spitfire attitude.</strong>But how his gaze stayed on her instead of continuing to look for the missing woman should have shown something to the goblin, that he was curious to the knowledge for knowing's sake. Not to ask for her over Asvett.
