Kuval did indeed notice the gesture.  Wizards have this habit of taking in everything in front of them.  The better to know what to cast.  Pushing back his hood to reveal his features, he smiles easily and bows.<br/><br/>"Hello, my name is Kuval Misu.  I am...also not from around here."  He looks at the gate opening before returning his gaze to the elf.  "If I am allowed, what is your name?  And what brings you to Faust?"
