He seems neither intimidated nor sorry, and now that Temper's acknowledged him, he quickly steps forward to close the distance between them, doing a little hop-skip as his bare heel comes down on a rough pebble. Bariyan is still naked himself, and finds it pleasant that no one seems to mind.
He raises a hand, slowly, questioningly. ]
