considering it has been a month since him and his remaining party washed up here, ethos is happy to say he now knows the 'ward' he lives in is called archimedes.
though, as with many things, once you start learning you also uncover there to be much more. like the fact his ward is not the only one, or that he's yet to discover the name of the one he's wandering through today.
passing by what seems to be an open market, not unlike the streets of new cyre, he notes there are plenty of people here that are strangers still.
which is why he stops in his tracks when he catches sight of a familiar head of brown hair.
ethos wasn't expecting to recognize anyone in this place so soon. it gives him the slightest sense of comfort, grounds him to this unfamiliar world in a way, enough to push him towards the other and tap him on the shoulder.
“ fiyero? what a surprise to see you here. ”
he hasn't forgotten the fact this man had broken into their home with intent to steal, or his following conversation with himmel. though the same can be said for the intrigue he felt in the short time they got to talk, and the promise of meeting again.
he knows fiyero had been in a very compromising position then, willing to say anything to get out, but he hopes the opportunity to talk again is not something he'd bail on.
“ still working on that play, i assume? ” he teases, in case the man needs a reminder of who he is.
