Agnès knelt a familiar kneel, though her boots brought her great discomfort as they bent and stretched peculiarly. It would take a while, certainly, for her to grow used to them. However, that was scarcely a worry now - Her main concern should be what was going on here, and what this King knew of it. "I am Agnès Oblige, vestal to the Crystal of Wind. I understand that your people do not seem to know of my title, but I believe it only fit to give you my full name." She looked up, eyes trained on the King's, all bright crimson. They brought a bit of shock to the surface, showing slightly in Agnès' expression. "I recall not long ago awakening in a white void. I was spoken to by a powerful creature beforehand, who mentioned a name... It spoke of this as the 'Omniverse'." She clearly struggled to repeat the word, as it was beyond unfamiliar. "It told me little but that. I request simply that you share with me your knowledge of this land," she finished.
It was clear that the King was irritated. He did not seem to like eye contact, and so she broke it and shut her eyes with her face towards the floor. He also, however, seemed at least somewhat intrigued upon her mention of the Wind Crystal. "You request something of me?" he said. "Why would I even waste my time telling you such trivial knowledge? I am the King! I am giving you a privilege by standing in my kingdom without enlisting and yet you ask for more?" Again, this was a decent point. Agnès certainly had no authority here if there were no Crystals, and if there were no Crystals, there was no Crystalism, no Crystal Orthodoxy. "I do not demand this of you - I only request it."
"If you have nothing to offer me then leave my presence at once. You two over there! Show her the exit. You may stay here for an additional day before you must take your leave from my Kingdom..and consider that my gift to you." Agnès' eyes widened - This seemed beyond uncalled for. She rose and looked the King in the eyes again, pushing away her fear of them. "Your Highness, I implore you to reconsider!" At that she received a glare, and she felt hands on her arms, attempting to drag her backwards. "No-- No!" She turned her head over her shoulder to see the man at the gate earlier, who was presumably the Anos that the King mentioned. She pushed away from him and, though she struggled to do so in heels, ran to the throne on which the King sat and fell to her knees steps away from it.
"Please... I know of nowhere else to go. I am alone... I am lost..." She muttered to the floor. Her hands instinctively went together and her fingers intertwined as she regained her composure. She rose again and stepped back. "I do not know what else to do or where else to go." Her eyes rose from the floor to Gilgamesh's face one again. It seemed she truly had no composure on her own after having allies around her for so long. "I fear I've no one to turn to now but you..." Her voice sounded drained, and she felt the same - She knew not when the last time it was that she had the opportunity to rest or even shut her eyes for more than a moment.
"Please…"
