gregoire took a small step back as the man startled from his question, he had not intended to surprise the man so he gave him some space to help ease him. the french noble watched the man’s process before finally getting a response. it brought a smile to gregoire’s face, he was more so interested in the way the man was behaving rather than what he was doing, gregoire’s light toned eyes finally met the man’s before he nodded somewhat. listening to him speak, though he was now taking in what he said, most would have probably taken the man’s words at face value, however gregoire was a man that saw deeper than most into things. he tilted his head upward some in interest before responding to the man before him, a casual smile still planted to his charming features,
“that is a interesting perspective on the season, and a rather optimistic one given the circumstances. a timely reassurance to what exactly besides the obvious change of seasons?”
The man was behaving kindly enough, and pierre’s demeanour relaxed a little, though he still fidgeted nervously with the pencil between his fingers. the other man seemed to take in his every movement, but there was nothing threatening in his demeanour and thus pierre managed a smile.
"A reassurance... that this world is still capable of freshness and beauty. it is too easy to forget - um, given -” he began, before shaking his head, “but i am getting carried away with fancy. forgive me. i, um... i do not think that we have met before - my name is pierre, pierre renard.”
