Rik isn't one to judge someone on appearances. However, strangers do make him nervous and it shows in his expression even if he can continue to play and sing. It might even be an odd trait for someone who lives on stage, though there is a barrier and a way to tune out on stage that isn't available in this situation.

Rik is a natural on the harp, intuitive in the way he can treat an instrument like part of himself. The fact that she starts singing along draws his attention and open surprise. If it had been Vars that was sitting there he would have expected it but this woman gets a curious look as he stops playing. The Dane nervous and shy around strangers but manages a bit of a smile.

"I didn't think anyone would know the poetry?" It's all he can get out while leaning into the harp like a child with a security blanket. Rik hid in his music most of the time.
