Her words while simple were invigorating. Indeed, he seemed to get more and more life from the exchanges between his current comrades and the focus on answers were more pressing than the soreness and problems of his body. She got his attention again, and then he gave her more of a study, his odd mask revealing not much of his own expression, but his posture and movements seemed to pick up the slack. He seemed quite overly animated, like a scarecrow come alive. He put his hands together at his chest before standing straight with them behind his back. [color=lightgreen]"Please kind madame. I consider you comrades at arms. Pox is fine among my peers."[/color] He spoke like a lord, but dripping with an a genuine obsequiousness for the concern of those around him. He recognized her behavior as something the house servants had done. Heck she even seemed to have the same attire. [color=lightgreen]"I'm an open book."[/color] She asked her question, getting him a little notch of his head like that of a dog. She was indeed so different, and she could see that he was trembling for the discovery he had made. He almost didn't register her question, instead, his eyes going to her unique features, his mind racing on how they function. He made sure not to stare too long. [color=lightgreen]"Oh forgive me. House Apothecary isn't known too well outside of the Realm and Blessed Isle. We aren't one of the Thirteen Great Houses. We are a Minor House, but we get by."[/color] He stepped forward, hands clasped together. [color=lightgreen]"M-Might I ask the same my Lady? I could not detect the semblance of life as I am familiar. Please forgive me for being so bold, but- are you? Are you an Automaton?"[/color] He suddenly spoke then very fast, and rather nervously. But as it went it became more impassioned. [color=lightgreen]"I mean please do not take the question the wrong way, I've only seen the remnants of relics and artifacts of the fabricated life forms from First Age Ruins. Only the Golden Lords could create such technological achievements at the Height of the First Age. And to see one, a functioning one in such a pristine state. You must be a marvel without compare! That's not to say you aren't if you aren't an automaton, I'm just trying to say I've never seen anyone like you before! And that to me is quite wonderful!"[/color] He seemed positively giddy at the prospect. Indeed, despite looks, the doctor itself seemed to be of a curious even childlike mind. He took a step back and stood up straight. [color=lightgreen]"Apologies, I get a little excited sometimes."[/color]
