Tomoe turned to Taka, who had asked her for introductions.

"Where I'm from, I'm taught not to make too many judgments while still being wary," Tomoe pointed out. "That being said, we are on the same side after all, and therefore I will put my trust in my allies."

She put a hand on her chest. "I'm Tomoe; I've been sent here on a bodyguarding mission, which, of course, brings me to the questions asked by our prince."

She turned to Jarde. "My home's gone by many names, Iapena included. Judging from the state of things in this country I can confirm those differences. It's a very peace-seeking nation, and I suppose I should be grateful I come from such a place."

Tomoe paused. "As for why I was there, I was actually sent to offer my services as a bodyguard; however, it appears that I had arrived at an incredibly inconvenient time." She chuckled grimly. "...To say the least, haha. As such I never got any comrades' names, backgrounds... There'll be time for that, I suppose."
