Hermes smiled as he landed, noticing Aurora’s eyes look over him. As he spoke the truth about just having to meet her, he noticed a small smile cross her face. Yes. So far, it was going well. He introduced himself and watched as she quickly stood up and moved into a bow. He cocked his head, smiling softly again to cover his confusion – he wanted to get to know her on a personal level, not a pack level. He had to be separated from the pack sometimes…but also felt an urge to introduce himself as a prince of Sabertooth. Not in a bragging manner, however. He made a mental note for later in case things did not work out with this female. He still asked her for her name, throwing a casual flirt in there. The Aurora Borealis that painted her pelt rippled, bright hues covering many parts of her body. She was beautiful, that much was apparent. Perhaps he was below her standards. Her next words and actions eased his worries. ”I am lady Aurora, once maiden of the Arctic Borealis clan. The honor is all mine, Prince Hermes.” Her smile showed the feedback he needed – the flirtatious vibe to it. So he did have a chance. As she sat, he followed suit, facing her. The pastel pinks and oranges and yellows in his sky covered pelt and wings brightened slightly, and he rested his wings at his sides. ”It’s a pleasure to meet you, you’re quite charming.” She giggled, and this is when the toothy grin graced his face, followed by a laugh of his own. ”It doesn’t happen often when someone else painted with the sky comes along my path, particularly, a diamond in the rough such as yourself, Lady Aurora!” He gestured at her appearance. ”You my dear, are painted with the beautiful Borealis itself! That may have been a normal occurrence at your old clan, but you are the first I’ve seen here in Starfall!” Hermes looked her over again, noticing the tip of her tail flicking. He smiled, attempting to meet her magenta eyes again. ”Let’s cut the formalities, yes? I’d like to get to know you on a personal level. Please, just call me Hermes, or even just Herm.” He stood up and would walk to her side, facing the way she had been prior. Hopefully, she would turn around with him, and not move away. Respectfully, he still gave her distance, however, would try to get within a foot and a half of distance between them. Just enough that if the opportunity arose, he could place his wing over her back. But at this point in time, that was pushing it. He would in the meantime, turn his cranium to look at her, and speak once again. ”So, Aurora. Tell me more about yourself. How did you come to Starfall? Where do you reside? What do you like to do?” Actions and Thoughts/Others and "Speaking."
