His annoyance wearing off a bit now, he takes a moment to actually take in who he just asked for help.

...Wasn't exactly common to see a woman dressed like that just... walking around, but then, neither was wearing a near full suit of armor. Also, was her hair ...dripping water?

"I'd appreciate the help, if you don't mind."

He... bowed, though it wasn't the usual one a japanese person would do- one arm went to the small of his back, and the other to his chest as he bowed forward... only to stand straight again with a groan of frustration.

"Sorry, that's... not at you, it's..."

How to describe this? He rubbed he back of his neck, trying to find the words.

"I keep doing or saying things that seems off for me, but feel 'right' to something else... inside me. I guess it's that whole 'essence' thing, but its annoying as hell."
