�N-no, it�s alright miss. I�ll do it.� Tathan tried to protest as the greenrider made a move to help him � but to no avail, it seemed. He was holding about half of the blanket � the large pieces mostly � but there didn�t seem to be anything he could do to stop her. It was then the he remembered that he should probably be calling her �greenrider� instead of �miss�, but he didn�t correct himself. That would mean talking more than he would ever want to. Even her helping him made the shy young man nervous, because that meant she would expect him to make a conversation with her. And then she might tell someone that she had spoken to him. And the other drudges would find out, and he would get into trouble�

He wouldn�t, of course. The overseer would most likely be glad that somebody got a few words out of him, albeit stuttering, grudging ones. It did help that Nerilki was a girl, of course � if she had been male, then he would have just walked past the door and remained silent rather than asking about the blanket. When Bronzie decided to lick him Tath almost jumped out of his skin, but he found that he didn�t mind it too much. He even scratched one of the canine�s ears. But he still didn�t warm up to Nerilki, and he just shook his head. �Don�t worry. I don�t mind.� It was instinct to say this, of course, even though he didn�t mind the creature�s attentions. He told people what they wanted to hear. He always had done, and he probably would continue to do so for most of his life. An anxious glance was directed towards Ginny, but her remaining where she was reassured him that she wouldn�t come over. The greenrider didn�t seem to like her canines saying hello to him.
