Jacholaus smiled when Val spoke back to him. At least she accepted his presence. Jacholaus had been taught all of his life that first impressions were everything. And, from a wealthy and, almost aristocratic in a sense, family, he was expected to treat new acquaintances extremely well. Though, a bit odd circumstances, since this wasn't your typical soiree and ball for royal families and businesses like they did back in Hungary. This was an introductory session for his new school, Shibusen. Jacholaus then heard her ask about him, smiling.
Jacholaus gentlemanly took her hand and encased it in his, crouching on one knee, leaving the back of her hand for him to kiss, a greeting he'd grown accustomed to. "A great honor to meet you, Val. My name is Lucard Jacholaus. Jacholaus, being my given name, you may call me by." He stood after introducing himself by name. "I am, truthfully, a Demon Weapon. More specifically, a rapier," he said, smiling, baring his elongated canines, almost fangs, to her. He would take an opportunity to straighten out the more casual clothes he wore for the event, being a vest over a dress shirt and tie, dress pants, and some black formal shoes. To the normal person's wardrobe, it would be extremely formal. He would wear this just around his home. In hind sight, he may overdo it in some eyes, especially the greeting, but he didn't want her to think he was a bad person.
