Astran nods, not trusting himself to speak. Her hand is warm and
calloused from years of sword practice, whereas his is more long
fingers, still stained by ink in places.
OOC: hope I'm not taking liberties with his description of Illyana's
hand.. ;-)

Astran is about to say something, when the troll bursts in. He
hurredly gets his gear together to leave, and adjusts the dagger to the
other side, somewhat shamefacedly. he has so much to learn, he reminds
himself, and yet he cannot bring himself to feel too embarrassed -
Illyana didn't seem to think he was foolish, he told himself..
