[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!!]

... 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.]

[brightens]

[ 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. ]

[noeljustkillme]

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

[brightens]

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


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

[noeljustkillme]

[nods] I am aware of that.

[brightens]

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

[noeljustkillme]

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

[brightens]

[ Well... actually. ] If you didn't have any reason to be worried you wouldn't be walking around looking all scary with that sword, would you?

[noeljustkillme]

I merely saw no reason to leave it elsewhere.

[brightens]

... Why didn't you just say that, before?

[noeljustkillme]

[SIGHING he feels like he's talking in circles, but maybe he only has himself to blame for getting caught up in Vanille's pace. c_c] I did not choose to. Is that so difficult to understand?

[brightens]

[ Just smack her across Asgard and walk away no one would blame you. ]

It would've been easier.
