ah. he smiles a little at that, though - warming up, and he puts a hand to his heart. ] Miss Robin. [ to repeat it, to commit it to memory - after, he takes a slight step backwards, though just enough to bow, the motion very gallant. ]
My name is Rondo, of the Knights Ardante - it's a pleasure to meet you, too.
[ and as he straightens back up again, he nods his head. ] I think... for what it's worth, things are very strange, but we're all here together? It's heartening, at least to me.
[ on god he will never get used to being called that so immediately, flustering and waving his hands: ]
Ah - no, no! No, you can just call me Rondo, that's okay...! [ technically she's exactly right but the idea of being an experienced enough knight despite several years worth of training to be called by his title feels almost unbelievable. ] Thank you, though. Yes, I'm a knight! Admittedly, I am starting to feel more like one than I did prior, now that we're out of those strange clothes.
[ no! more! cult! robes! but ah, what robin says makes him smile - his gaze flicks to her little head wings, curiosity flickering very obviously across his face, but he nods. ]
And - yes, I think you're right! And I'd certainly call this adversity, all things considered...
[ ah, that's a good question even if it isn't serious - he laughs a little, sheepish, plucking at the front of the threads of his cloak. ]
Heh, maybe not. But, it's a piece of clothing that's pretty important to me, so I think I feel better wearing it. Plus, I can move around a lot faster, and I have a sword, now, so - I'll be able to protect others if it comes down to it.
[ which is to rondo what it means to be a knight, more than anything in the entire world.
he does look at her wingies a little longer, but as robin continues the conversation, he seems to realize he's staring and flusters a little, then nods. ]
As do I, Miss Robin. Hopefully, working together, we'll be able to carve out a path. [ genuine!!! ] ... Can I ask you a question?
[ he smiles a little at the first part - yeah! - but for his question.. ]
I don't mean to be impolite, so pray forgive me if it is a poor question... [ because he is a nice boy!! but he reaches up and like. mimicks where her feathers are near his own head and wiggles his fingers like they're his own little wings! ]
Are those a hair accessory...? I've never seen anything like it before.

... Well, that's good...I'm not very good at being silent.
[ but he would have tried!! real minus 1 to stealth checks kind of guy. ]
Have you had any luck with them yet at all, Miss...?

[ she likes having a voice. ]
It's Robin. It's nice to meet you despite the circumstances.

[ it's not the same across all cultures or even with individuals, so it doesn't hurt to ask. ]
In times of trouble, it is better to share our wings with each other. It is more difficult to be alone in adversity.

Do clothes make the person for you?
[ it's not a serious question. she sees where his gaze goes, but he has to be brave enough to ask for her to answer something that's normal to her. ]
It is a bit of predicament, showing up somewhere unexpected and not being able to leave. I only hope it won't be too difficult to find the way out.

They're not. They're as much a part of me as my eyes or ears.

Whoa - amazing! Those are really cool, Miss Robin!!! [ PEOPLE FROM OTHER WORLDS ARE SO COOL ] You - can't... fly...with them, right?
[ rondo that is such a stupid question ]
