[This festival was just full of bizarre antics and contraptions that were beyond Caeli's comprehension. This festival was certainly nothing like the festivals in Celveryia, that's for sure.

He happens to catch a glimpse of Crystal's display, to which his ear feathers stand on end and his face turns a bright shade of red. He immediately tips his hat over his eyes and looks away. Good lord, is there no decency here either?!]

[highprices]

Are you alright?

[Crystal smiles sweetly at the boy, waiting for her clothes to dry.]

[autumnthunder]

[He coughs into his fist to clear his throat.]

Ah, yes, quite alright.

[He's still averting his gaze from her and hiding behind the bill of his hat.]

Do you need a jacket, miss?

[Because he'll lend his fancy uniform jacket to her just jesus woman put on some clothes that actually leave something to the imagination!]

[highprices]

[Crystal laughs softly.]

I could change if it makes you worried. It's very hot though, I don't know how long I could wear a jacket.

[Plus she won't dry off then.]

[autumnthunder]

I'm hardly worried, I'm sure you know precisely what you're doing.

[Even though he sounds skeptical as all hell saying that.]

But if you insist, except you're rather... exposed.

[highprices]

You would be correct, it isn't so bad.

[Her smile widens.]

If you'd allow me the chance to show some shame, could I please borrow your jacket for a short time.

[autumnthunder]

[He certainly doesn't seem to mind, but it was probably because he was all but appalled. Though he'd certainly met one particular woman in his home world who he'd daresay is far more shameless than this woman. Or it's... 'confidence', as he assumes they would call it. Still, he obliges, taking off his darker blue uniform tail coat and hands it to her. It was actually sleeveless, to match his lighter blue long-sleeved dress shirt.]

It would be safer, as you may risk catching a cold like that.

[Totally just making up excuses instead of flat out saying 'put some clothes on, woman'.]

[highprices]

[Crystal will admit that what she's doing right now is shameless. It's a few steps past confidence and into the lewd. She accepts the coat with a soft thank you, slipping on the dark blue and fastening it in the front to over her soaked chest.]

You're to kind.

[She smiles knowingly before holding out a hand to him.]

I'm Crystal. It's nice to meet you.

[autumnthunder]

[He tries his best... even if it was only a half truth in this case. But anything was better than seeing this woman who had might as well have been naked. He sure hoped it wasn't a thing he had to get used to here. That'd just be awkward.]

Caelestis Oculus. A pleasure.

[He reaches out and shakes her hand before returning to his natural stiff military posture with his arms behind his back. At least he's not averting his eyes now that she's mostly covered... though there still may be a faint hint of red on his cheeks around the tiny gold feathers.]

[highprices]

[Crystals smile remains in place while her demeanor and pose continue to be relaxed. She finds the slight tint to his cheeks cute.]

Are you with the military?

[She's noticed.]

[autumnthunder]

[Oh, phew, a subject he's more comfortable with. That'll let him focus a little better. He nods.]

I serve as a General and instructor for the military of the Hazaeth Kingdom. I've been involved with the knights for twenty years.

[highprices]

[It's noticeable that this is a subject that he's more comfortable with and most likely more familiar with. Crystal's smile remains set in place, her bright blue eyes attentive.]

Sounds like a weighty position. What is it that Knights do?
