There was a lot that was too much to believe and had Elena shown up before she had met the Salvatore brothers, she would have had a lot harder time adjusting when she had first shown up. Even with Bonnie and Caroline having been there at first. Because Bonnie was a witch and Caroline a vampire and Elena wouldn't have known how to handle that then. Or being best friends with Elphie. Elena could take a lot, and it took a lot to phase her, but that was also because of everything she had seen. So the fact that Lancelot was remaining calm and just listening and taking everything in? Well, it showed a lot on his character.
Nodding at his comment about not wanting to damage the handiwork, Elena just quirked a brow as she was referred to as 'my lady'. It was chivalrous, yes, and it fit his time period but she was Elena. She was no one's lady. It felt strange to her, or maybe it was just the fact that she could see Katherine playing it up and well, Elena refused to be Katherine and shied away from anything that might be similar to her if she could. Mostly. She hated the correlations to her, so the less, the better.
"Elena's fine, really. But if you say so. If you change your mind, there's a room down the hall if you want to take the armor off and be more comfortable."
There was under armor, right? Elena was pretty certain that there was a layer of normal clothing for the time, then the chain mail then the armor. Or was that a different time period? Ugh. Just because she was good with history didn't mean she could keep up with all of that. So hopefully she hadn't just implied that Lancelot could sit around naked or something.... Elphie would never let her live it down and Anakin would... who even knew.
"Yep, that Lucifer." Okay, so he at least had a grasp of the Christian Bible. But not seeming a follower of it as he referred to it as the Christianity of the Romans... Interesting. And probably best not to have him say that to Livia... But right. Questions.
"It's fine, any questions you have, I'm happy to answer. As for the reason why? Well, Lucifer wants to destroy humanity because basically he has a bunch of father issues and feels that God betrayed him. So he has this whole end of the world war planned. Why we're here? Um.. that one is up for debate. Perhaps to fight. Perhaps to show the different nuances of humanity. The common belief is that we all have a purpose in this, no matter how obscure it might seem as not everyone is a fighter, not everyone has powers.... there are children here brought through the Seal... regular people who have no skills when it comes to a fight, but we're all here. All with our different lives and experiences and we help one another...."
That.. covered the base of the basics. There was still demons and possessions and the fictional thing and oh god technology....
"Following so far? And again, anything you need further explained, let me know. I've been here a while as I said so I might skip over something that I don't even think of because of that fact."
