Jin


Jin could understand the blonde's frustration, truly he could. There was nothing quite so awful as being kept in the dark, so to speak, and it was in his natural tendency to attempt to illuminate such situations as best he could. When her gaze shifted to him for some kind of explanation, he met them easily, his face transfiguring into a kind smile. "We have been assured that the information will be provided to us in short order," he replied gently. "In the meantime, I've sent for something to eat and drink."

As if on cue, the door opened, and a few staff members entered with trays of light refreshments, laying them upon the low table around which the seating was clustered. Jin himself waved away any such repast, not being excessively fond of eating when there were still problems to be figured out. "What I can say is that the only information we have been provided- or that I have been able to discover from research on the subject- is rather scant." He pushed his glasses upwards on his face with his index finger, and old habit he didn't quite realize he had.

"I do know that you were brought here to serve as- for lack of a more precise term- bodyguards. I must admit to finding this equally as strange as most of you doubtless did, and so I did some looking into it. Each of you should be in possession of a necklace in a very familiar color, no? My understanding is that these have some kind of special property, though nothing I was able to find mentioned what exactly that might be. Far be it from me to propose that destiny has anything to do with it, for I scare believe in such things, but... the tomes which reference it are all heavily slanted thus."

A pause; he recognized that he had been perhaps rambling a bit and cleared his throat awkwardly. "As for what to do in the meantime... I suppose if this is really to come about regardless of anyone's opinion on the matter, it would help to know something of each other? I'm afraid we seem to have neglected the basic courtesies afforded guests, and you have my humble apologies for this. My name is Jin, and I am the second of my father's sons. Might I have your names as well?" he asked with a small bow, nothing flamboyant, just a gesture of respect.

Lenore


Lenore felt essentially the same way as the girl who had spoken, and she had a feeling they were somewhat similar in other ways as well, but this idle thought was banished as she listened to the highly-academic-sounding explanation of the ash-blond prince. It seemed to her like this lot had scarcely more idea what was going on than she did, and so she did not direct her anger there, but rather at whomever had thought to manipulate her life from the very beginning.

When he mentioned necklaces, her hand did not instinctively grasp for hers. She knew well enough what color it was, and that to look at it right now would change nothing. Instead, she took in the explanation stoically, raising an eyebrow when he reached the part about introducing themselves. Basic courtesies, indeed. She plucked a fruit from the tray in front of her and removed a small knife from her bag, using it to carve the flesh of the thing into slices before she ate it.

Swallowing the first bit, she returned the bow with an incline of her head. She saw little harm in this, at least. "My name is Lenore Mirren. My father was guard-captain in my village, and until this morning, I had thought I would be the same." She was not one for speaking too much, especially not of herself, and so she left it at that. It was all of the important information anyway.
