Well, things were turning out well for Kobalt. The archer he'd attempted to tail had heard his words, and had appeared behind Kobalt - having leapt down from the trees. The archer had been traveling the forest from the treetops, it seemed - which was a clever and rather interesting plan, even if it weren't something Kobalt would consider using. The archer boy introduced himself as 'Romand Lei Vester'.

[color=2e3192][i]'Alright, good. We've made eye contact, so we're set.'[/i][/color] Kobalt thought as he glanced at the archer, who had begun to speak - including a mention of how Kobalt apparently saw the boy in the trees. [color=2e3192][i]'Didn't really see him up there, but hey, it'll do. Sounds better than me just yelling at some trees and hoping someone's there, that's for sure. Wouldn't be a great first impression.'[/i][/color]

Kobalt began to go through the motions - the motions of introducing himself to another person. He felt that he was getting quite good at it, as the boy in front of him held out his hand - which Kobalt reached out and shook. [color=2e3192]"The name's Kobalt Zaffre."[/color] He introduced himself with a calm tone. [color=2e3192]"I'll promise you - I know my way around a fight. It's what my family's built on... so, yeah, guess you could say I can fight." He finished his explanation, then looked at the archer, known as Romand. "Gettin' a hunch that you're an alright fighter. Saw a few of your shots earlier... they were pretty good."[/color]

Romand had also asked a question regarding Kobalt's weapons - more specifically, how he used them to catch up to him. Raising his left hand upwards to show off his gauntlets, he began to speak. [color=2e3192]"Wonderin' about these, huh? Can't blame you. These're Whip Gauntlets - I call 'em the Twin Thunderbolts. They're pretty crappy at large ranges - they're great for close to mid-range, though."[/color] He continued. [color=2e3192]"Caught up to you by launching myself with these, I guess. Not that easy to explain, so just keep an eye out next time I use them."[/color]

After this, Kobalt glanced over at Romand's weapon. It was a bow, unsurprisingly enough, though it had a rather elegant - even beautiful azure blue design. It was certainly very stylish, though Kobalt found himself wondering more about the utilities of his new teammate's weapon. Could it transform? Did it shoot special arrows? What was his Semblance? Kobalt considered asking, but those questions would likely be answered in due time, within the heat of combat.

[color=2e3192]"Probably best not to dally too much."[/color] Kobalt took a singular step forwards, which was followed by a look at his new partner. [color=2e3192]"Now that we're all registered in this whole partners business, we should be able to get this over and done with pretty easily. From here, we've only got to get to the relic. Should be no sweat for the two of us, I reckon."[/color]

While this Romand fellow was new to Kobalt, he seemed like he'd make a good partner. He seemed like he was a capable fighter from range, and he approached situations carefully - as evidenced by him taking the higher route, the treetops. It seemed like Kobalt had gotten lucky, regarding who he was partnered up with... so far.
