Neferet, Akatan's youngest sister, is among those gathered. She's shy, but it is blatantly obvious to Skellig that she has a crush on him, or perhaps an infatuation with him?

Because he's someone new, someone exotic? Because she 'knows' she can't have him? Because it makes her brother furious? Because she heard THOSE noises that first night, and she's so very curious? It's hard to say.

"Hello, Skellig," she calls. When he gets close enough for her to see his black eye, she looks both surprised and concerned. "Oh, you're hurt!" She claps a hand over her mouth, too late to prevent the words from escaping.
