(OOC: wow, nice long description FeeFee. I wonder how Saikotsu is going to tie you into the story! If anyone can, I'm sure it's him though.)<br/>Marie looked the stranger over.  He wore no shirt, yet he wore armor on his lower extremities.  An odd combo indeed.  "I believe we are alright, and thank you for the assistance, fellow traveller. I am Marie..." she caught herself before introducing the princess, or indicating that she was a bodyguard. To cover up her efforts, she offered her hand for him to shake it, though she did not put away her sword.  Though this would be considered awfully rude, his appearance had coincided too closely with the attack, and he had not quite earned her trust yet.
