Val generally does not bother to learn anyone's name until it interests him to do so. Rifthwatch, therefore, is made up of a great many people who he knows without knowing. One does not make camp without learning by what they are called, but when there are two Wardens who might both be called Warden (Apparently Possibly Human Warden, Elf Warden; Beardier Warden, Not-At-All-Beardy Warden; Rugged Warden, Pretty Warden; et ainsi de suite), and when one is otherwise engaged with notes and study and various activities far more interesting than socializing with Wardens--well, one might be forgiven for not yet learning the name of the man that has trod backwards and practically pushed into one's chest with an elbow.
Thus does Val not realize he is giving a genial and bracing slap on the back to his great rival.
"It is overwhelming, yes? This place? Such a," he waves a hand in the air, then grimaces a little and touches a hand to his throat. "Am I shouting? I feel as if I am shouting."
