I think all of us are feeling that way right now, so... as long as we can rely on each other, we'll be able to get through. [ protagonist energy. he puts his hand to his heart, and then does a bow - the motion is gallant, like a fairy tale prince. ] My name is Rondo, of the Knights Ardante.
I don't think we got acquainted yesterday, properly. What's your name?

Hehe. Yes, that's correct! You're from a world where knights are not common, I take it...?

It's nice to meet you too, Mr. Mathis. You can just call me Rondo. [ you just called him mister but okay ] I know things are strange, but if you need any help trying to get settled in, if I can help, I'd be happy to do so.

[gasp... he's immediately fascinated, peering curiously at him.
he does seem like the type; mathis could believe he's a storybook knight, right off the page.]
