It was always interesting meeting someone else from a time or place vastly different from this one. And Rhys seemed to be a very interesting person. He had made some good friends here, but a person could always use more friends. Especially since his sister and Percy were gone. He was still not quite over that loss, but with the explosion and the aftermath he had had other things to think about. At least until the last few days.

It hadn't hit him until he saw Belle's comments that he knew Princess Addie, and he hoped that someone she knew from her own world arriving would comfort her. He had belatedly seen her post about being trapped in her apartment and knew she was probably more shaken up than he was. Having an old friend from home would probably help her very much. Hopefully she would see Rhys's post and speak to him shortly. For now, Armand could find him and give him the spare amulet, make sure he stayed safe, and most likely try and find him some clothing that would help him blend into modern Lawrence.

He made it to the fountain quickly and saw Rhys with a laptop on his lap. He wondered how he had gotten it, but that was a question that he could ask later. And getting him new clothing would definitely be a priority. They did not look to be the same size unfortunately so there would probably need to be some shopping done. Or if his friend at the wardrobe department at the theater was there, he could always ask her. A favor for Marguerite's brother would not be too hard, though he did not like to have to explain her disappearance. But that could keep for the moment. He went up to the young man and cleared his throat as to not startle him. "You must be Rhys," Armand said with a smile. "I am Armand."

Rhys found this whole thing to be fascinating. Daunting, yes, and perhaps a little unnerving, but fascinating nonetheless. Now that he knew (or had heard) that Princess Adelina was nearby, he felt much more at ease- true, this new world held its own dangers, but he (selfishly) would much rather have her near than out of reach back in Bamarre.

At Armand's arrival, Rhys set the computer aside, and bowed, deeply, his hand flat against his chest. A smile belied his clear joy as he stood straight again. "Armand!" He greeted the other man as if he were a long time friend, not a stranger. "So good to see you. Yes, yes. I am Rhys, as you have so wisely guessed!"

Armand grinned even more widely. Truth be told, most people did not greet others with such enthusiasm here. It reminded him of home, of how his friends in both Paris and England had greeted each other. And he still remembered formalities, as he bowed slightly at the waist. "Well, it was a rather easy guess since you are in apparel that does not fit with this era," he said with a slight chuckle. "But we can fix that."

He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out an amulet. "Here. This is the amulet you should wear to keep yourself safe. I would recommend you keep it on at all times, because the Complex is not operational right now, and there are not many places warded against the demons." He thought for a moment. There might be one or two rooms left at the Inn. He knew that rooms had been offered to those displaced but there could still be a place for Rhys. "Why don't we get you into clothing that will not cause people to look at you strangely? Then I can take you to a place where you may rest when you're tired, if there is room there."

	Taking the clothes bag in hand, Rhys shook his head at the offer of food. "Sorcerers need not eat, so I do not experience hunger as you do." Of course, if Armand had never met a Bamarrian sorcerer before, he wouldn't know that. "I may eat for pleasure, if I wish, but do not need the sustenance. Still, I would be pleased to accompany you to the inn." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
