Hage gratefully followed the voice, though outwardly he didn't show it. At most there was a flash of something in his silvery grey gaze, which swiftly focused on something the other koi was fiddling with. He could smell a sharp tang in the air, and briefly his nose wrinkled, reminded of when he was younger and scraped himself while playing. An adult always put something sticky on his wounds, and it had that same almost bitter scent he was smelling now. But he eventually smoothed his features out to something more polite. First impressions mattered, after all. Had he been looking at her face he might have noticed the almost grin, but for a good few moments he was, to put it aptly, overwhelmed at the fact that she was smaller than him. He wasn't the shortest koi around anymore? His injured pride at getting lost was bolstered a bit at that knowledge. Her words also soothed it a bit. Well if everyone got turned around, then he supposed as a newcomer it wasn't as embarrassing as he was making it out to be. "It is... a puzzling place to live in," Hage said tactfully, his pride still not letting him admit out loud it was confusing and he was lost. She could infer that if she so desired. "I am Akizora Hageshī," he said after a moment, respectfully dipping his head in greeting, and sparing a glance at the bird and cat beside the other koi. |
When Hageshī's speech is in italics it means he's speaking in Japanese
