It's nice, she thinks, the sound of his laugh when it's just the two of them. She's always thought of him as a sincere sort of person, but without that loud, boisterous edge, he seems even more genuine. Younger, too - a man more than a soldier. And isn't it dangerous for her to make such an observation, that like this he's somehow even more attractive to her, a gentle sort of something about him that draws her—
His words break - thankfully - the train of her thoughts, and Y'tajha looks at him in silence for a moment. He's her friend and ally, and all of their joking aside, he is opening up to her. Now hardly seems an appropriate time to let her imagination take hold. She focuses instead on his words, a smirk twisting her lips in response to his offer of commiseration, and like him it's something between amused and annoyed.
But still there is more for her to hear. She nods her acknowledgement to his statement.
"No, I cannot say that I do. To be honest, I was surprised - it is not a typical name for an Elezen." Not to mention that he is of House Fortemps, and named Greystone... She probably has a good idea already. Maybe she would have asked earlier, too, if not for the concern there for his pride. But if he's the one bringing the matter to her attention... "What does it mean?"
