Well, now you have.

[Which is actually to his advantage, he decides. Lower profile.

He does have a firm handshake, but it's nothing unnaturally inhuman either, despite Schuldig's personal opinion that he's superhuman.]

I'll leave you to your thoughts-

[Hah.]

If you just tell me your godly name too - so I know who to listen for.

[sharkmaid]

[He could have sworn he heard of that in a movie once... Ah, well.

After drawing his hand back, Rin pockets it... then looks away for a moment at those last few words. Nn, does he really have to say?]

It's--

[Ahem]

--It's Eros.

[volksdaemon]

[Schuldig has the decency not to giggle like a five-year-old, but he does smile nice and broad.]

Reeeally? Well, lucky you. Or maybe you'll get lucky soon enough.

[Because that's his impression of romantic love.]

I'm a little jealous, to be honest.

[sharkmaid]

[Rin seems to puff up a bit, shoulders squaring and lips pulling into a small pout.]

Oi, it's not gonna be anything like that!

[Crossing his arms]

And anyway, what's there to be jealous about? There's nothing cool about it.

[volksdaemon]

[He chuckles a bit.]

Nothing cool at all?

[Tsk tsk noise in the corner of his mouth.]

Just give it time, then. There'll be plenty of the small people who want to offer prayers to Eros. You'll get used to it after awhile I'm sure, but if they use any words you don't recognize, you can always ask me.

[Because he doesn't have the mentality of 'just google it' yet -- too early in the internet's existence.]

[sharkmaid]

[He raises a brow at that last bit.]

Words I don't recognize?

[Wh-- Hang on a second.]

It's not like I'm some little kid or something, you know... I can figure things out on my own just fine!

[volksdaemon]

Of course, of course you can.

[He shrugs.]

Some people simply choose not to look things up for themselves. They look at a dictionary definition and it doesn't mean a thing, but another person explaining it suddenly brings everything into focus. That's all I meant.

[Not like he's going to offer a 'practical demonstration' to someone that young, anyway.]

[sharkmaid]

[Is that really what he meant? Rin keeps pouting but after a moment he decides to let the subject go. If he's offering help, he's offering help. He shouldn't be rude about that.]

Thanks.

[he mutters towards the ground.]

Anyway, I'll keep that in mind. ... For now I just need a little while to gather my thoughts, I guess.

[volksdaemon]

[ He nods. ]

There ya go, that's the spirit.

[ He gives a salute off his bright yellow headband and pulls down his sunglasses. ]

Have fun, Eros.

[And he teleports away to bother the rest of the picnickers.]
