[While Caius had been in Asgard for a number of days already, he saw no reason to make his presence obviously known among the network. While there was likely a chance that just listening in could somehow make his being there known, it was better than actually having to communicate with the others here. As it was, that worked out just fine as well; with a number of other new arrivals asking the questions he himself had, it was easy to just listen in on others replying to them rather than asking himself.

As unsettling as it was to have been brought here, he was confident ~~or just knew, or something, who knows how time really works with this guy seriously~~ that even something such as this would do no harm to his plans. Another anomaly in time--ironic, then, that he was now stuck in something like this rather than passing through them so easily as always, but it mattered little.

However, not even Mr. CHECK-OUT-MY-FEATHERS over here could stay cooped up in his lodgings forever (and man he'd definitely have to get himself his own place or something WHAT IS INTERACTING WITH OTHER PEOPLE), and he saw it fit to at last become familiar with his new surroundings. So yeah, just another walk through the city nothing intriguing here...

Or it would be if not for the fact that he looks like intimidation incarnate seriously what is that thing he's carrying on his back??? SOME WOULD SAY A SWORD AND PERHAPS OTHERS JUST SOME SORT OF MONSTROSITY. Please don't be alarmed if you happen to spot him he actually doesn't intend to be hostile or awful for once just trying to get a feel for this place and all really!!]

[Does he really need both feathers and flowers in his hair???]

It is merely a matter of becoming accustomed to it. [Or maybe you're just crazy Caius did you ever think of that.]

[ Look at her. Look at her excessive amount of accessories.

Ask that question again. ] You don't get tired..?

[ Legitimately this is the most casual conversation ever. ]

[Caius isn't from all the way out like Oerba okay HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE AN ACCENT!!]

No, I do not. [Easy when you have a MAGICAL HEART right.]

[ Weaksauce Pulsian you don't even know what it's like to be from down unda ]

Wow... I'd probably get worn out just trying to lift it up. [ Eheh. ]

Are you going to go train with it or something? [ Or do you just like carrying around your big pierced sword to look menacing to all of the people with half a brain those of which do not include Vanille because clearly when she sees swords with eyeballs she's all "OOOH LET'S TALK TO THIS PERSON!!" ]

[I don't hear anyone singing ballads about you okay.

DAMN YOU FIGURED HIM OUT Vanille why must you be an exception just be like everyone else and go "DANGEROUS LOOKING PERSON UNSURE OLLIES OUT ASAP"]

No. However, it is best to be prepared when one is in unfamiliar territory.

[ You just haven't heard them, they're not mainstream enough for you. ]

Oooh. [ That's the sort of thing Fang would do and— well, she'd done it, too, when she'd first gotten here. Other than when there were actual dangerous things around, she didn't really see the use for hauling around a weapon. ] But... You don't sense any danger here...

Do you?

[Hipster l'cie are so 500 years ago... later... However time works with him again fuck if I know.]

... no. [Though the fact that you people are walking around fine and dandy is enough reason to be a little (unsure). BUT THE MAIN POINT IS--] But I would not trust the lands of such whimsical "gods" to be safe either.

I guess you're right. [ She laces her fingers behind her back and just starts...

Walking... Around him... Checking him out.

I mean, the sword, but, you know. Him. ] It's not always like this. Every now and then there's things we need to fight, but... It's usually peaceful. [ In other words it's Gran Pulse! ]

[Girl you are so weird why did he bother to venture outside again.] Can you blame a "newcomer" for being so unsure of that? I have yet to be here long enough to see things for myself, after all.

Not at all! But... Someone's gotta tell you, huh? If no one shared any information, we'd all be stuck trying to figure out things someone else already knows.

[ So she'll pass on her awesome knowledge, clearly. ]

I prefer to see things for myself rather than rely on the information of others. [Okay well he did listen in on the network but TALKING TO PEOPLE NO ME GUSTA.]

[ YOU'RE DOING PRETTY GOOD AT IT THOUGH JUST SAYING. ]

That's not a bad thing... But you should probably trust us a little more, too. We're all in the same situation, aren't we?

[AND IT'S COMPLETELY UNWILLING!]

Regardless, that is no reason to give trust so easily.

Well... Maybe. [ She drops her arms to the side and pumps them in and out a few times, trying to think of what to say to that— but it's not like she can argue anything about it, really, considering he's sort of right. ]

But even if you don't trust anyone, you can hear what they have to say, huh? It's up to you if you decide to listen to it. But at least then you know who's looking to help out.

Fair enough. It would be foolish to dismiss the words of others who have been here longer. [Not specifically talking about Vanille, but there was a reason he spent a good majority of his time lurking on the network. Information is handy.]

[ No you are specifically talking about Vanille!

.... At least she thinks he is. ] Right! So, like I said—!

[If he agrees with her will she finally leave him alone. (pokerface)]

Yes, you made a fair point. [Or he could just be curt and blunt like always, that works too maybe...]

[ She won't. (troll)

So yeah, giggling. ] I know! [ YOUR CURT AND BLUNTNESS IS SUPER INEFFECTIVE. ]

So... What's your name?

... Caius Ballad. [Like, y'know, that one Caius Ballad guy who's kind of really fucking scary and all that? Hell if he knows if people are actually still singing ballads about him and all that stuff, BUT IF ANYTHING GETS HER TO GO AWAY HE'LL TAKE IT.]

[ SHE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE JUST YET DEAL WITH IT

But her eyes are widening and she's backing up a little, staring at him in a mixture of disbelief and fear and oh no are you for realsies. ]

You're... That... Caius? [ HAHA THAT'S NOT FRIGHTENING OR ANYTHING. ]

Yes. [Yeah, so... how 'bout that weather right.......]

[ It's lovely weather, perfect for strolls and flower picking and—

And also holy shit. ] ... She's here, you know.

[nods] I am aware of that.

Is... that why you're so worried?

I have no reason to be worried. [Why would he when he's here to protect her right? RIGHT?!]
