“Whoa…” He was right!? “I’ve never met a ninja before— an’ ya protect royalty, too? That’s awesome!” There’s a word fer that, right? … Retainer, or somethin’? “Sounds like a tough job, though. I hope yer prince appreciates all the hard work ya do for ‘im.” He feels a bit self conscious of his accent now - the other having affiliation with royalty, and all - but there’s nothing he can do now; it’d be weirder if he switched to Northern Galarian.
Oh, good. It sounds like she’s not new. That’s a relief; Hop’s not sure how many times he’s explained Spirale to a newcomer, but he’s already tired of it.
Hop beams. “Hoshido, huh? ‘M from Galar!” A pause. “… Wait. Hoshido?” That sounds… familiar, actually. Incredibly familiar. Wait a second— “HUH!?” He rears back, eyes wide in shock. “That’s where Takumi’s from! He’s not that prince ye said ya protect, is he!?” Have they met, yet? Takumi didn’t mention meeting any ninja… but then again, it’s not like it’s any of Hop’s business.
“‘M Takumi’s friend, Hop.” He says, clasping his hands together, “Promise I’ve taken real good care of ‘im! He’s one hundred percent unharmed, so don’tcha worry!”
“It is a tough job as a retainer. You have to be in his or her side to prevent something bad to them.” By something bad, assassinations and many more do happen sometimes in Hoshido since their opposing enemy is Nohr. Sure, it’s awesome but stressful at the same time but yeah. Kagero may never knew about Galar but definitely, that’s Hop’s world continent or country.
“Prince Ryoma has my service to protect him. He is Takumi’s older brother. Therefore, i do not mind serving the other brother as his retainer if he doesn't mind.” Normally, Takumi has Oboro and Hinata but they aren’t here as same goes to Kagero that Ryoma and Saizo aren’t here as well. He seemed to be in friendly terms with the second prince which she’s at ease.
“I’m Kagero. Glad to hear that Prince Takumi is safe and having a friend like you. Please, keep up the good work.” Even if it’s not a work, maintaining friendly relations is fine as well. A friendly talk may not hurt.
“I wish to know about Galar. Is it a place of your world? Culture and anything perhaps, if i do not mind.” His world could be more interesting than hers, so it’s not wrong to get some information.
