Smooth crystalline eyes softly clicked from Kyros back to his ward as she spoke. Unblinkingly taking in the information and bridging lines of knowledge, Kaite's cognitive map was left to speculate where 'Gabir' even was relative to home. It was disappointingly little to go on, bringing to light a greater issue regarding which direction the ship had even traveled in. Kaite burnt the end of the branch, recentralizing 'location' around an idea of geographic area rather than a series of buildings that happens to have a name. The doll would never be so rude to assume those in proximity had extensive navigational awareness to the point of being able to read off exact coordinates.
In the end, Kaite was only left with a better way to ask the same question. However, for the time being, the young woman had been nice enough to submit to questioning. [color=a187be]"Mmh, szank you, miss-"[/color] he had began, having been about to coyly request her name through implication that she would finish the sentence before her associate's voice boomed in challenge leveled towards the individual whom was responsible for the quickly reassimilating porcelain hand.

Loud noises. The tension of muscle and sinew. Focused eyes.
Action, however, was halted by a simple recap of the Branch and its roots. The individual now identified as 'Weiland' failed to match any similarities to even the late lord though being of roughly the same age. Even though there were pedestrians and bystanders who could be in danger of the large man now identified as 'Kryos' by the girl the doll had been speaking to, the danger held little of Kaite's apparent interest. 
Protecting strangers was not Kaite's primary responsibility.

Instead, more faces emerged from the sea of continuously registered 'negligible threats'. A boy chastised the two men who were no doubt best of friends for all Kaite cared to note about them; had Kyros simply come in swinging, the case would be considerably different.
A quick and idle scan sized him as being around the age of the missing young lord and matching in appearance to an upwards of an 80% accurate match. Blonde hair and all, perhaps a bit older with a less pronounced nasal bridge. Their foreign accent was clearly not Isparian and rehearsal of a substitute vocal inflection would have needed to be practiced for considerably longer than the young heir had been away. It was a disappointingly insufficient of a score, earning little more than a passing glance as Kaite's attention was then drawn to the next individual attempting to glean attention from the psuedo-crowd which had built itself in the middle of the street.

In response to being asked if they required assistant, Kaite released their hold on their own wrist, lifting the daintily mesh-covered arm. Having been holding all of the pieces together, the damage had mostly fused itself back together. The hand snapped to a fist with a metallic chime of ceramisteel impacting itself. The material creaked around the complexities of the primary ball joint in the place of a wrist, various cracks still visible. [color=a187be]"I am serviceable..."[/color] Kaite replied, offering an intendedly reassuring and pleasant smile.

So many strangers all at once. Typically, Kaite would only have a few selected lines for greeting, taking coats, coordinating parlor games, extracting information and farewells. Having to adapt to strangers on the fly was quickly becoming difficult to manage as those he had been just speaking with blinked in and out of registry as Kaite 'remembered' they existed. From this, crowds swiftly earned a place in an 'aversion' subcategory.

Like a lightswitch, the mood appeared to change while Kaite was distracted, the red highlighted visage of Kyros unintentionally introducing the girl he had spoke with as 'Euterpe' before inviting everyone to engage in soup and dinner. So soon it was said and the bowls of still faintly steaming warm food were ushered into the boy who was not the Heir and the recent hand-curious associate's own hands.
Then the eyes of the giant fell on Kaite who returned the look with direct eye contact, being the polite thing to do in acknowledging that you had their attention.
The offer to also be provided with food confused Kaite who was not accustomed to being invited to participate in such events on account of how he did not eat the way the lords or their guests did; a display described as 'unappetizing' and 'unsettling'.

[color=a187be]"I must decline zeh offer ouf food, Sehr Kyros. Iz...not vaht I...[i]do[/i]"[/color] Kaite vaguely explained in a cordial manner with scripted pauses intended to add emphasis to the inflections. The way he spoke sounded eerily careful and planned, as if he indeed had a grasp of common tongue and was poorly feinting hesitance on purpose.[color=a187be] "Ehn I vould request you cease zee molestation ouf tenders az zehy have a task zeht need be performed"[/color] Kaite continued, bowing his head for a moment as he finished with, [color=a187be]"-Alzough I vould be obliged to accompany zee collective 'you'; company ehn caskets, as zee expression goes, ah?"[/color]
The allusion to whatever grim foreign saying Kaite referenced was backed with a light chirp of a laugh which quickly tapered off.
