Keeping his eyes on the floor, Kyriel hardly heard a word that was said. He was far too preoccupied with his own thoughts to give a care to the conversation. His nervousness was taking over and he could not help but feel like they were, all four, still staring at him, leering and sneering and all those other "eering" words.

Looking up as he heard his name, Kyriel squirmed a little. He surely did not mean that he had to tell him his side right then, did he? Not in front of them! That would be disastrous. It was bad enough that he had to be in the same room as those troublemakers, but to have to speak in front of them like that? He was doomed.

So, for now, Kyriel just remained silent. Of course, now they would just think he was stupid... there really was no winning.
