Phoenix Ikki? [Well, Regis certainly heard stranger aliases than that but still, he's metaphorically raising his brow some.] Your assistance is much appreciated, Ikki. As I stated before, Genessia has always been kind towards me.
[There's true sincere gratitude in his tone as he speaks. It's almost as if he's relieved to know nothing has changed.]
Fear not. I'm quite used to all things supernatural and wondrous by nature.
[He's not even joking at this point.]

[By the time the phoenix makes his arrival, Regis actually strayed a little further from the piers. While some would assume this old man to utterly helpless, the truth is that he isn't. The flickering red flames within his right hand proves otherwise. The King of Lucis may wield a sword but he possesses an extensive knowledge regarding magic. He's quite a powerful sorcerer, almost too powerful without the burden of the Crystal upon his shoulders. He managed to chase the bitter chill of the wind away but he much rather be indoors.
Ikki is greeted with a courteous bow and a relieved smile. The coat is certainly a thoughtful touch. It sort of reminds him of the other time he arrived here. The kindness of strangers almost balms the cruelty he witnessed prior to his death.
It almost makes him retain his faith in humanity.]
My apologies for forcing you to brave the cold, Ikki. [Regis says as he graciously takes the coat. He first unbuckles the lukewarm cloak upon his shoulder along with the cermonial golden armaments he wears. While he hasn't stated either his title or name yet, Ikki might think of this old mage to be some kind of knight. He almost dresses like one.]
You're quite kind but feel no need to go through such troubles. [Now that he's warm and has a hot cup of coffee, Regis truly feels alive now,]
I do not believe I've introduced myself. [He says after a sip.] My true name might be a tad lengthy. Therefore, simply call me "Regis".
[Action]
