Even as observant and dexterous as he is- whatever strange twist she managed with her fingers and that thread? He missed. The knot is strange to him and he could not replicate the gesture even if he tried. That was...disconcerting, but simply another shade of 'other' that encompassed the entirety of Galadriel all the more so.
Comforting and strange, but- he attempted to squash the knee jerk reaction to assuming she was patronizing him or worse, humoring him. It was true they did not know one another well by design. She was fine and fair and kind and wept for this world and he...
He was everything that was wrong in it, save for mages.
All the blood and loss and pain and sorrow boiled down into one displaced elf. He could not stand giving her reason to grieve. So he spoke little of his past. Kept the shadow away from her light.
"...Perhaps I wish a favor to be paid back some time in the future." A jest made easily as he bid her follow to the armory. "I simply...wished for you to be prepared. Others have been arming themselves and we elves must care for our own. Even if you are not of Thedas I did not think anyone had taken steps to see you properly outfitted."
