Things certainly had changed, hadn't they?

There were things that she had never seen before - the people were dressed in such odd clothing (or, maybe, she was the one dressed oddly to them?) and they all smelled so strange. They were so unlike the scents of the people she had met and befriended all those many years ago in Nippon - all those people

Jude wasn't exactly used to unexpected visitors, but he'd learned not to show that after a few months living in Halim. People came from all over, hearing that there was a peaceful settlement somewhere far from the cities.

An unexpected visitor in what looked like a theater costume, with fuzzy ears, though... well. He couldn't conceal his surprise at that - or at the fact that she seemed to be homing in on him.

"Can I help you with something?"

She stops in mid-step, just short of the boy, and ears seem to twitch in thoughtful wonder. It is a little hard not to stare and take his appearance in: a jacket a little bigger than it should be on someone like him and it was such an interesting color too! Plus his hair reminded her somewhat of Oki's, at least the color did.

Personal space was about to be invaded, as Amaterasu was the type who really did not quite understand the meaning of such things.

He has a few issues about his personal space being invaded by people who aren't Yulie Ahtreide without warning. It's a small few, though, when the person doing so is a pretty woman standing in front of him.

"Anyway... I'm Jude!" A grin. "What's your name?"

She had noticed the step back but her expression and body language did not relay such things; instead, her Amaterasu's lips purse and her brows furrow together for a moment of thoughts. Ar-chi-bahld? What an odd sounding name that was. It was weird on the tongue but -- no no! She shakes her head in attempt to get her thoughts back on track.

The only thing she would be to see this Archibald about is getting back home and maybe a hot meal before that but until then, she could amuse some time with this boy. Who called himself Jude.

"Ah." She points to herself, eyes widening slightly, when he asks for her name. My name? It was very rare these days that she came across such cute children with some sort of manners. They seemed to be more into themselves than they did respect for their elders
