Megamind himself was looking far better than his accompanying dinner guest - he'd avoided, as best as possible, soiling any piece of his outfit with the blasted red dust and had had chosen to don the leather and spikes he'd arrived in as opposed to the ridiculous, outdated carnival wear they insisted on stocking the place with.
Oh, how he'd kill for even just one of Minion's capes!
Nevertheless - he had an impression to make and despite the fact that this woman was not Roxanne, she was still royal and that mean an impression had to be made.
Except he wasn't completely certain as to who he was looking for. The transmission had been wholly through audio.
...And his first impression is that of an egotistical jerk. Absolutely fantastic.
"Yes. Yes, Megamind, er - apologies, I didn't realize--"
What...was he supposed to do here? Did one bow? She'd made it clear she didn't consider herself a princess anymore, but she still obviously was a princess and therefore that required some amount of protocol, however he was still a villain and didn't that mean he was supposed to want to...what? Kidnap her? Hold her for what, ransom? That didn't work here, his villain cred was nonexistent and he's pretty sure no one takes him seriously here anyway. This wasn't like Metrocity.
She doesn't seem to be all that wary of him at all. There were much scarier villains on the boat. Has Megamind ever met the large green man with the sword? No? Well neither has Odette. But that's beside the point!
Odette steps into the Great Hall and good! They're not late for dinner.

So, he approaches the only other soul out there.
"You there! Identify yourself!"

But in a moment, the smile is back.
"I'm Odette."
Small curtsy out of politeness.
"You're Megamind, right?"

This was confusing.
And she's pretty.
He swallowed.
"Ah. This...this way? Please?"
