Skellig rapidly is realizing that he has very little clue of what is actually being discussed in the space between the words that are being used in the conservation between Ajax and Kreyu. Kreyu is interested and intrigued, and he has seen her act like this before, so he is relatively unconcerned... he is happy to just nod when it seems appropriate, but otherwise he will play the part of 'husband' and allow his wife to discuss affairs.

It is natural for their bodies to shift while sitting on the couch; at some point he stretches as he drinks his wine and allows his arm to settle around her shoulders, as she leans in closer in her conversation with Ajax, her hands settling on her glass.

He is listening to this conversation closely, tasting the echoes of certain words to get a sense of the energy of it.
