Amethyst noticed the signs of Ran's aspect, but that could wait. She noticed the approach of Teptel, guessing his identity when he addressed Niala as mother. She smiled and gave a polite little bow to the young man. "A pleasure to meet you, I am Amethyst as Niala says. From what she has told me of her children, I would guess that you are Teptel, are you not?" she asked, smiling gently at him. Cruel though she could be in times of battle, Amethyst was actually fairly charming in more peaceful circumstances.
