More like I'm excited to finally get to meet people instead of staying behind to do super boring work. [ there's a pause as they stare at his hand before they do the proper royalty greeting of lightly kissing his knuckles. ]
Hmm, something's off... [ they curtsy? on top of that? ] Ugh, whatever. [ they shake their heads ] We don't remember our names. Didn't the others tell you? It's so obnoxious.
Okay, but they're both going to sound really lame. We kind of woke up with the masks around? So ... assigned secret identities, maybe? Or it was our favorite animals, but I can't see myself liking swans best. They're pretty! But that's kind of it.
[ they wave a hand around a bit ]
And the team assignments were totally random. For fairness, probably. Not that I don't like my team! You guys seem fun from what I've seen. From far away. Because I had to do boring castle work.
Oh! [ they don't seem to mind that idea? ] Well, the others probably won't go for it, but if I had to pick a bird, I'd have picked a phoenix. They're immortal and on fire? Why would you ever want to be anything else? I could just swoop in and burn the disturbance, and if anything happens to me, surprise! I'm back!
[ they're clenching their fists in front of themselves and grinning, like they are imagining violence. ]
[ they flop down on the floor themselves, though they do. provide a cushion from their robe and offer it to Taako ]
We need to keep track of things with the Realm and try to find the source, but we also want to be there for you guys, so. We split off into teams! Fox and Rabbit volunteered to go first, and then ... well, I wanted to go first, but I couldn't leave Goat alone with Wolf and Tiger, and then no one wants Tiger as a first impression for any group, so I miiiiight have decided on Wolf. For everyone's sake.
[ their shoulders droop a little as they look at the floor ] I wish I could tell you. I don't know. Time isn't passing back home, since there's this a whole... sync thing I don't get? It passes differently. [ they wave a hand ] But for how long we'll be here, it's until we "fix" things. Except we still don't know how, exactly.
