"My name is Chrestienne," the young newcomer said. She eased down into a vacant chair. "I am from near Pinnath Gelin." She looked about the mixed group a little nervously. So many new people at once frightened her, but after so long on the road, company seemed like quite a good idea.
Niniel was speaking to her again. Chrestienne pulled her eyes off of Mardath--he seemed so oblivious to the discomfort he caused--and refocused on Niniel, smiling shyly. "I'm very sorry, I didn't catch that last part."
