[ Oh, Alice loves looking at all the curious sort of things that wash up on the shore after the high tide. Even if it's just something as simple as seashells, she can already marvel at them for ages if she feels like it.
... Today is a little bit different though, as there's a person lying on the sand. She's.. not entirely sure if this is normal - it probably isn't, is it? - but then she takes a few quick steps over, staring down at him curiously. ]
The other abnormal thing is the black, wiry 'tail' that's sticking out of his back. There are a boatload of other abnormal things about this...'man' that will crop up soon enough, but that tail is the most visually obvious. For now.
At any rate, he lets out a small groan and manages to raise his head, then look up and squint at whoever is talking. He gives a small nod but he doesn't look okay at all.]
[ Well, he nodded, that's okay. But he doesn't look okay. (The abnormal things don't really look all that abnormal to her, really - she's used to worse.
She squats down to be on his level, frowning a bit in worry. ]
[Armaros isn't sure, actually. But he probably shouldn't be getting humans involved with him again. Considering all that happened last time. And what if Heaven notices and finds him?
So he shakes his head and attempts to sit up. The key word being 'attempts'. Try as he might, his arms are too shakey and tired to hoist him into a sitting position, and he falls back on the sand with a soft thunk.
...Okay, maybe he does need help. Feel free to ignore his protests.]
[ With that she reaches out - slightly hesitantly still, she isn't too good with social interactions - to grab him a little, helping him out by hoisting him up. Of course, she isn't strong enough to get him all the way up, but a sitting position should work for now. ]
[Yeah! He nods, then tries to stand after a bit. That goes a little better, even if his legs are really shakey and wobbly. Like he's not used to being on land.]
Hmmn. [That's the only noise he makes as he takes in his surroundings. Though he's not ignoring the girl at all, as he looks at her again after looking out to sea. He's oddly quiet.]
[Wait a minute. He taps her on the shoulder and then points to her. It seems like this man is trying to ask something, but...why doesn't he just say it then?]
[ She blinks at him a few times, almost curiously. Alice probably wonders the same - why he doesn't just ask it - but.. well, she's used to dealing with strange types. ]
[Ahh, that's what he was looking for, and he gives her a nod.
He then points to himself and tries to mouth the word Armaros, but who knows how Alice will interpret what he's trying to...'say'. Well, apparently he knows how to talk. His voice just isn't cooperating.]
[ She isn't good at lip-reading, but.. well, she didn't expect him to give a fully comprehensible answer. So she just nods a little, perhaps somewhat awkwardly. ]
It's.. nice to meet you. I suppose. [ forever socially awkward. ]
[Right! Although yeah, he does notice that Alice is being all awkward. But he figures that just comes with meeting someone completely new. So...oh! He gestures to the city that's behind them and then looks at her again.
... Today is a little bit different though, as there's a person lying on the sand. She's.. not entirely sure if this is normal - it probably isn't, is it? - but then she takes a few quick steps over, staring down at him curiously. ]
... Are you alright?

... For a few moments Alice stares in silence too. Maybe she should just.. walk on now she's done her duty, she wonders. What is being social. ]

Maybe he wants a name?]

... Ah. I'm Alice, Alice Liddell. [ She wonders if she should ask for his if he won't speak.. ]
