"Oh," Melisil sighed in his response to her question. "I'm sorry if I seemed slightly rude in asking that. You reminded me of a man I've met once or twice. Though I think he was slightly older then you."
She laughed at his question, "No, I suppose I hadn't." she smiled, taking a drink from her ale. "Don't worry about drinking in front of me." Melisil said, seeing him push his drink away, "I've been around drunk men before... as well as Dwarves and Hobbits for that matter." she smiled again, eating a bit of her forgotten meal which was, in fact, getting rather cold.
Melisil started. Looking outside she realized the time. "Ah how time flys!" she noted, "I'm going to take a breath of air outside. Want to join me?" Melisil asked, finishing a bit more of her food and then standing up.
