And this is usually the part where she would curtsy, but his hand is still on her shoulder and she isn't sure if it would be considered rude or not to move out from it. Her next impulse is to salute. Her hand even lifts part way to her forehead before she hesitates.
"Violet Evergarden." She tips her head slightly, which seems like an appropriate response. "...And you are?"
It's the first thing she's said with any real inflection: hesitant, still a little unsure if she's allowed to ask questions.
Ike's actually kind of relieved when she starts to show hesitation, because it's something, and realizing that he may be making her uncomfortable, he pulls his hand away from her shoulder. He can almost hear Titania in the back of his mind commenting on his manners.
"I'm Ike," he says, and even offers a small smile, hoping that'll put her more at ease. He's never been the most diplomatic person, but he's trying, okay. "And I'd like to help you, if I can. You seem pretty lost to me."
She doesn't relax, but some of the military stiffness does leave her posture just a little bit. People never really smiled at her like that before she left the military.
"That would be very helpful." The neutral tone is back in force. And now that his hand is off her shoulder, she preforms a simple curtsy, "Thank you for your assistance, Ike."
"It's a little early to be thanking me. I haven't done anything just yet."
A tall, red-haired woman in bright silver armor is making her way back next to a significantly shorter man with long, dark hair, and Ike waves at them as they approach. "Those are my friends Titania and Soren. If you don't mind coming back to our base with us, maybe you can tell us what you know about how you got here. We're a mercenary company," he adds, realizing that that was kind of a critical piece of information to leave out. "We just came to town to pick up a few things. But we're in the business of helping people."
