Brendan stared at his hand in astonishment. "Wow!" he exclaimed. "Just like that, huh?" and then remembered his manners.<br/><br/>"Thank you very much," he said to Fiametta, holding up his hand to show recognition of her healing him. It was only then that he became consciously aware of the rose-haired girl standing beside the phoenix.<br/><br/>"Oh! Uh.... Hello!" He said rather awkwardly, raising a hand. "I'm sorry.. I didn't even.. notice you there. Uh... Um... Well..." He struggled to find words, torn between trying to properly greet her, ask her who she was an explain away the flaming bird next to her. Though after a few seconds he relized that she seemed unfazed by a mythical creature sitting next to her. Come to think of it - she had whispered something right to the phoenix.<br/><br/>"Um... I don't... Do you... know her?" he asked, gesturing to Fiametta. And immidiately felt silly for such an awkward question.
