[ He might not be above a toothbrush duel, in the right circumstances. He just has other preferred methods, typically. Something this place seems to be all about, from what little he's seen so far. But he is surprised to see her here. These don't seem like the types of games Edelgard would want to play. Not that they were given a choice, but his presence here made some sort of sense. He's not sure he could say the same for her. But hey, he didn't know what their criteria was for this place, maybe they were looking for something beyond the obvious.
Then again, maybe they're just pushing her 'slut era' a little higher up on her timetable. ]
Pretty sure today is going to be one giant surprise after another. I'm not sure I'll still rank in the top ten by the end of the day. [ His lips quirk with dry humor as he regards her from where he still leans against the shelf, head cocked slightly to the side. ]
Beyond the same information I believe they gave everyone upon our arrival? We're a fortunate few who've been chosen to partake in their very exclusive game. Which I think we're supposed to feel honored by, but that hasn't quite sunk in yet. [ He's not really expecting it to, either. Most people like a say in such things. ]
As for our presence in here... from the chanting out there, I'm pretty sure they want us to kiss. For seven minutes, apparently. [ Why seven minutes? He has no idea, nothing makes sense in this place yet. ] Don't suppose you have a watch in that basket, do you?
