[ he takes notice, but doesn't know what to make of it. It seems a little bit late to be nervous when they're already here...! Messmer faintly shakes his head. ]

... Perhaps. Yet thy vague words leave me without answer.

[ her people, a certain side - he really doesn't know what Furina's referring to. Maybe she's being cagey on purpose. ]

... Thou art afraid of me.

[ he ventures a guess. The snake, apparently done investigating the flower, retracts its head, only to let out a sneeze. ]

I MISS MESSMER...

[enscene]

Hah... haha, not exactly. ...You do cut an intimidating figure, I'll admit.

[And she doesn't have to worry about showing bravado or even pretending that she's strong enough to handle a threat to her life, especially one posed by an enormous, beyond-human warrior such as himself. So, well, yes: Furina has been afraid of him, especially at their first meeting.]

But no, I... Beyond any adjustments it's taking to become comfortable in your company, I-- [How to put it to someone who seems to have little experience with show business, let alone the many ways in which people and their words and actions can be recorded.] Some things aren't well known about me, and I don't know if I'm prepared to reveal them in front of the entire world.

[ her honesty is commendable; rather than being insulted at her admission, he simply nods in understanding. Bluster never impressed him. Besides, she's right about the constant surveillance; the snake by his feet turns its head just slightly, towards the small crowd of cameramen peeping on them down the path. ]

All who yet breathe concealeth secrets in their breast. I would not press thee to bare them to me.

[ after all, he's hiding his true self just the same. ]
