But, you should know your Kijin better than that, right?
Wandering the city not long after the mission may lead you to an encounter with the girl in one of a few situations...
-
1. [A vending machine looks like it has been run over by a vehicle, and an unhappy policeman is giving the girl a scolding. She stays where she is and listens.]
Yes...I understand. I'll be more careful next time...
But for now I have to...
[Unfortunately, the officer, thinking that she's one of the district's cosplayers, continues his lecture about respecting public property...
So much for a flawless escape.]
---
2. [Towards the end of the day, a bench in a quiet park is where she sits. Staring into space and looking not only directionally challenged, but also troubled.]
I did that much to her, and she just shrugged it off.
She isn't a normal Kijin...

[This catches the girl entirely by surprise. But as she looks in Roy's direction, her expression shows nothing but confusion.]
...Me?
[Well, he was in Wagner throughout that battle so she never really saw him. The voice does sound familiar though...]

Next time you want to go struttin' around and mucking up a crisis like when some freaky firebird came trying to burn up the place, at least wear a mask if you're not planning on leaving quick!
That enough of a reminder or you want me to go on?

[And then he suddenly reaches over, grabbing at Lenore's horns.]
-to make you stick out!

[At which point she starts flailing.]
H-Hey! Where do you think you're touching...?!
Someone, help!
From:
no subject
[But Lenore's flailing is enough to drive him back, and god that kinda hurt a little.]
Jeez, what the heck was your big idea crashing the party earlier anyways?
From:

[The flailing dies down, but the horned girl looks away from Roy.]
...It was as I said. I can't leave the sword in just anyone's hands.
And there's something I need it for. Something important.

... Henrietta... Horn-head?
... Okay even I'll admit that was weak but I don't even got your name! You're so "ooh, secrets" you won't even say that!
From:

[Even she isn't sure how to react to that for a moment. Between feeling insulted and how terrible that was, she just decides to say it.]
...Lenore. That's my name.
And it's more than just a weapon. That's why I can't let anyone else have it.

[Out his hand goes again. This time not for anything dickish, but rather to be held out for a handshake.]
Name's Garnette. You showed up late out there so you got to miss my introduction, but yeah; my name's Roy Garnette.

[Hesitantly, Lenore accepts the handshake. But an awkward silence lingers afterwards.]
...What should I do now?
From:
no subject
Like okay, you should really keep your promise to not use it but that's really obvious and going back on that's the real, total jerkwad maneuver! But I'm totally beat as for what should come next... like why wouldn't I?

What I mean is, this is my first handshake...

[Lenore does as she's told, but that's about it.]
This is...less exciting than I thought it would be.
