Oh? [Koltira's finding it hard to keep up, here. Bariyan seems to open and close on a dime, as though he both wants and yet also very strongly does not want to share anything about himself. He's cute enough that Koltira doesn't mind, but he's not sure how to navigate--especially since it's rude to just go on and on about yourself, isn't it?

He smirks, shaking his head 'no' again.]

There are a number of us, admittedly, but I'm among the most senior. And I don't like to leave my little brother alone for too long. He's shy with people, but completely reckless in battle.

[His tone is wryly fond as he thinks of Faltora, wonders what he's doing right then. Stumbling over his words to Merriel, most likely.]
