<span style="font-style: italic">"I will assume you're of noble or royal descent. Therefore –"</span><br/><br/>Eloa's eyes snapped up from the ground to his in a clear giveaway that he was correct. She said nothing to confirm, but then she didn't need too for an older gentleman came running up practically scolding the man. His scolding didn't last long before he gaped in astonishment at the two. Or rather mostly at the one called Sho Kaga. It would seem his face wasnt something many had seen before. So why had he shown her?<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"> "Would you like to be My Secretary or Historian for the duration of your stay?" </span><br/><br/>Eloa opened her mouth to reply, but the older gentleman interrupted once more. Sho Kaga's finger snap startled her, but what was more was the fact that the old man's mouth was gone! A fine hand went to her own lips and Eloa's eyes widened. He didn't seem the least bit detoured by it, however, for he continued to speak...or tried his best without a mouth to use. Did this happen often? Eloa couldn't take her eyes from the old man, and she stared at the building he entered for a long moment before turning back to Sho Kaga.<br/><br/>"I...erm, " An audible gulp. "If you have need of either, I would be more than happy to oblige." Eloa chose her words carefully and had to make an effort to keep her hands at her sides and not at her mouth. She did not want it to disappear. While she had heard of magic and magicians before, she had never seen any up close, or even in person for that matter.<br/><br/>Eloa rubbed an arm with a shuffle of her feet. Even though the people here seemed to give the pair a wide girth, perhaps because this man was their Lord, Eloa felt a bit awkward just standing in the gate. Not to mention, now that the cap was off, she looked more like a woman at first glance, and perhaps someone might recognize her. Despite the odds of that happening, the thought still managed to weasel into her head and it motivated Eloa to move. So, she began walking down the street, hoping Sho Kaga would guide her to where she needed to be.
