Ko was momentarily taken aback by her looks, dark eyes blinked rapidly for a moment. He did not mind the smell at all, having spent most of his life in a dojo, it was a familiar thing, and one he found perhaps more attractive than he should. Another blink and he pulled himself back to reality, lowering his eyes quickly in a humble act. He grasped his hands before his body as he let his head bow slightly.
"Princess..." he spoke quietly, not fully answering her statement. He pressed his lips together before he moved quickly. His movements were swift and rather sharp, but very controlled as he dropped his weight down, falling to his knees before the foreign princess. He had publicly embarrassed her, he felt it was only appropriate to offer a formal apology for this.
