Christina de Kiermo walked through the halls of Candaeln, her dark armor shining dully with reflected light. She had been told by one of the guards at the gate that the Iron Rose Knights had returned to the capital mere hours earlier, and inside she was told that her new commanding officer had headed in the direction of the baths. She wasn't planning on introducing herself inside the baths, but had decided that waiting outside for her to finish was a good idea. As she passed the men's bathroom, however, she was met with a scene that both surprised and embarrassed her, though neither emotion elicited a reaction from her.

A small woman in traveling gear was standing just inside the door, facing one nearly naked man in a plague mask and a towel, and one fully naked man. Neither man seemed to notice the social awkwardness of the situation, while the woman seemed embarrassed enough for all three. She decided this situation could probably use defusing, especially considering the woman was probably her captain from the descriptions she had heard. The only problem was that she had no idea how to defuse any kind of social situation.

She decided that simply providing a detraction would probably solve the issue. Bringing herself to attention, the new knight spoke in her most respectful tones. "Excuse me Ma'am, are you Lady Danbalion, captain of the Iron Rose Knights? My name is Christina de Kiermo, daughter of Marten de Kiermo, recently arrived from the southern lands to lend my aid to the Iron Rose Knights." 

After introducing herself, Christina's brilliant plan reached a dead end, and she simply stood at attention, staring impassively forward.
