[Cyril had worried he might not live up to expectations. His people were long past their glory days. He wasn't this tall, magic wielding, ancient being. He was short, had a missing arm that had been replaced by a prosthetic, and his magical ability was null.
Still, he is pleased when the response to his appearance is excitement. He shakes the hand and fights the urge to try an examine the fingers.]
I don't think you were embarrassing at all. [He says, and there's something comforting in his smile and voice.]
You know, I realized on my way here that we never exchanged names. My name is Cyril, of Clan Lavellan.
Not yet, at least, [ he says with a bright little laugh, pressing the other man's fingers before he releases them. ] Give me time, though.
[ at the comment, though, he blinks, then smiles helplessly. come to think of it, he's right. while the network gives them a certain amount of information, it's not an introduction. ]
It's nice to officially meet you, Cyril. I'm Theodore Bell, but everyone calls me Teddy. [ at nearly eighty, he's more accustomed to his nickname than his full name. he's not even sure he'd reliably answer to it. ] Wanna' grab a coffee or something?
[And then he moves with Teddy to get in line.] You know, they don't have coffee on Thedas, or if they do it's all in the North and so I've never had it before I came here.
