He waits patiently for her to acknowledge him, knowing that the sudden onslaught of words might have startled her if only a little bit. When one was not expecting to see or speak to another, he understood the surprise when suddenly a voice broke through the silence. He was in no hurry to rush her, only allowing her to answer when she felt comfortable doing so…or perhaps when she realized that it was her that he was speaking to. There were several others gathered in the fields on this particular evening, so he supposed he could have been speaking to just about anyone.
When she finally did reply, his soft smile towards her only grew. She seemed kind enough, a little surprised but still kind. She replied that her name was Luvena and Rhone locked it away for later use. It was a name he hadn’t heard before, but it rolled off his tongue so sweetly, far more sweetly than this own name which sounded quite harsh when leaving his lips. But contrary to what it sounded like, Rhone was anything but harsh. He was soft and kind, the sort of person one always wanted to be around.
He took another step towards her, closing the distance but still maintaining a respectful few feet away from her. After all, he did not want her to feel overcrowded or unable to breathe. "Luvena, such a beautiful name." He wanted to add that it was a beautiful name for a beautiful woman, but he supposed that might not come across as he had hoped. Sometimes a little bit of flirting goes a long way, but he did not want her to get the wrong idea. He was only being friendly.
She comments that it was obvious that she was new here and he cannot help the light chuckle he gives. He cannot blame her for thinking that, even though it wasn’t exactly true. "Not too obvious…" Just about anyone who looked over those gathered in the fields might not identify her as new on point. But he did. It was only because he made a point to form relationships with each member of Terrastella. "I make a habit of knowing everyone…so when I see someone I have not met before, I know them to be new." Sure, there were still some who lived in Terrastella that he did not know, but he had seen them around and would not necessarily tag them as new. After all, he hadn’t been here too long himself.
"Where have you come from?" It was a polite, curious question. Rhone wondered if she was just new to the court, having come from somewhere else in Novus, or if this was her very first arrival in Novus. It made a huge difference in what he would do from here, to show her around only Terrastella, or to help her navigate through Novus.
