"Ludwig. I am Kopaka, Toa of Ice. You are familiar with this Omniverse?" I asked, stowing my sword and shield. The Koopa shook his head.
"No, I am afraid I am quite new to this place, despite having...family here within." Ludwig said, his voice dropping into a low mutter towards the end of his response. The Koopa perked up and looked Kopaka in the eye.
"Say, you weren't delivered here by some strange white man, were you?" he asked, folding his arms. I nodded.
"I was indeed. I had hoped that this...Omniverse was to be the place where my Destiny lay but..." I said, pausing and looking around.
"...it seems that hope might be misplaced." he finished, my voice completely emotionless. This was not to say I wasn't feeling rather despondent at the situation; I was in fact quite distressed. Years of discipline and diligent training have, however, taught me that emotions are largely useless in situations of formality and purpose, such as this. Some...at least I seem to remember this...have called me cold in the past. Ironic, perhaps, being the Toa of Ice, but it wasn't the sort of label that I paid any heed to.
"Then we share something in common, Toa." Ludwig said. There was a few moments of silence. It appeared as though neither of us knew quite where to go from here. I break the silence after about a minute.
"I have no purpose for being in this place other than to become informed of my situation. Being that I am duty-bound to both your protection and observation, I suppose that puts me at your disposal until you decide to leave this...Camelot." I said, my expression utterly neutral. I am vaguely aware of the fact that my mask likely makes it nearly impossible for this largely organic Koopa to discern any kind of emotion I might deign to express. This is fortunate.
