Anyway, she looks at her hands, quizzical but silent. She moves her fingers a little, then slowly waves her hand in the air, as if trying to cast a spell. Of course, nothing happens. ]
... Not at all. I feel the same as always. At least we tried...
[ Okay, what details can she give that aren't insanely depressing? ]
... I serve the kingdom of Ylisse, which is ruled by Lord Chrom. He also leads the Shepherds - sort of like a personal army. It is our duty not only to protect the kingdom, but to those who are being oppressed and harmed by darker forces. I have allies here from my world... Inigo is Lord Chrom's son, and Owain is Lord Chrom's nephew.
Oh, yes. Because he sees his people as his flock... and as a good shepherd watches and protects their lambs so they won't know harm and suffering, so do we to the people of Ylisse and any who need our help.
[ Well he does have a very close relationship whose "other half" turns into his enemy, so, maybe! ]
Possibly... but then, that can be an advantage, if it lets down their guard. I'm proud to be following him. He believes in second chances and proving yourself.
[he taps his chin in thought. pretending to be a cute sheep in order to fool his foes. yeah, sounds pretty sneaky! but then, Shadow Milk would know all about that]
I suppose I can see the appeal! You said you were an archer, right? Is that your weapon of choice?
Yes. It's one of the few things I'm actually good at... I'm not strong enough to wield other kinds of weapons, and I don't have a talent for magic. But I rarely miss my mark when I have a bow and arrow.
Yeah, well, I've found most of the other people here are. Agreeable, I guess. Foolish, really. To blindly trust others so easily. But no one's told me any lies, so, I suppose I'm. Oh, what's the word? Grateful?
[ She was about to apologize for apologizing, but that seems counter-productive. ]
Oh, um, okay... should I make you some tea, at least? Sometimes sweets can leave you feeling a little thirsty. I would recommend the tart first... it's full of sweet berries.

I can understand that sentiment! Hee!
[he gingerly pulls his hand away]
So, do you feel any different? Anymore magical?

[he shrugs, annoyed]
But, yeah. We tried! I still think we'll get the local currency just from hanging out. So that's good!

[ ... H. How does one. Hang out. Shoot. Uh. She should have given this more thought. Quick, what do friends do??? ]
Ummm. You... you can ask me anything you want.

Hmmm! I told you about my world, so what's your world like?

Hang on, back up. Did you say he calls his personal army... The Shepherds?

[he hasn't even tried the sweets yet, but he can tell!]
And you sound pretty loyal, too!

Oh, um, thank you. I just do my best... that's all anyone can do. I'm glad this realm and this village had such welcoming people like you.

If you go around apologizing for every little thing, you'll feel guilty all the time. Don't do that. Human lives are too short!

It's okay! I'm just looking right now.
[he grins]
But if you want tea, we can have some.
