A not-shocked newbie? wow.

[grandbellknight]

[Please welcome Croix Bartel to Musespace. He's definitely not as confused as the average newbie. In fact, he rather looks like he's got the hang of this, or that he's used to appearing in strange worlds created entirely by the minds of females. ...Yeah, about that....

He takes a good look around, calmly, then shrugs a shoulder.]

Alright. So this isn't a Cosmosphere, but it's... sort of similar. There's no Reyvateil behind this. I'm also not here on purpose. I don't remember diving into anyone, at least...

Wonder how I'm supposed to get out of this one... Well, I can at least have a look around.

[He nods. ... ..... ... Then, he realizes the conversation they just had, and he's back to mentally flailing with a wide-eyed expression.]

Nevermind. Nevermind. [Ahem!] This isn't Jacqli's dream, though. I don't think.

[grandbellknight]

[That was highly unexpected. Croix stares, then blinks, then just gives him a confused look that may or may not be a defense mechanism.]

I'm not... sure what you mean. I'm not hiding anything.

[grandbellknight]

[jsflksdjakl Hello, personal bubble! Croix backs up a bit, looking down at Ayatane, baffled.]

What--... It's nothing. Really.

[grandbellknight]

[Croix sighs, looking off to the side and rubbing his forehead with his hand as if he's beginning to get a headache.]

I'm not flustered, I'm lost and confused. There's a difference, you know.

[grandbellknight]

[Croix honesty thinks about that for a minute, then settles on just giving Ayatane a confused look.]

Something else? Like what? There isn't a whole lot here, just the two of us.

[grandbellknight]

[There's a difference between actually being dense, and pretending to be dense. Croix is not Lyner. Really.

That comment does win Ayatane a different sort of look, though - one bordering on surprise. He didn't think Ayatane thought... Or rather, that there was a chance... or that maybe... Okay, so in honesty, Croix didn't think.]

... That no one else is around?

[And, back to the dense act. This is called testing the waters.]

[grandbellknight]

[WHOA WHAT JUST HAPPENED.

After recovering from jumping about a foot backwards from shock, Croix just stares at Ayatane, wide-eyed and in awe.]

W-Whoa! What in the--... What did you just do?

[grandbellknight]

[Croix has to fight the kneejerk reaction to take a step backward again, but it helps that he's too busy staring at Ayatane and wondering how he suddenly grew older. ... And if possible, even more attr--COUGH!!!

Um. Right, have a Croix narrowing his eyes a bit, looking Ayatane up and down. Thinking. Examining, almost.]

Fair point. Got an example?

[Waters tested. Let's try some fishing now.]

[grandbellknight]

[And Croix, not to be completely outdone, returns the kiss confidently.]

You know, I really wasn't expecting this.
