[Konoha takes a few minutes to fix her hair and clothes, sniffing to make sure the robe, the same one she's been wearing almost constantly since her arrival, smells fresh enough. Okay. Then she has to tentatively make her way slowly down the stairs not meant for equine legs. And then...
The lobby! Looking around, she spots Palamedes... and gives a little smile, and a small bow, recognizing him from their hand-holding session in the Patho-Gen clinic. Oh, she should send him some puzzle pictures, too... maybe when she's done with this meeting she hadn't expected?
- But she doesn't break her stride, and, clueless, Konoha keeps moving to look around the lobby. A task that should be easy, considering she's about seven feet tall, but... hmmm... where are they...]
[Oh, there's Konoha... walking right past, aha, he's beginning to understand the rabbit. Or rather, that someone else is the rabbit, and perhaps this is about to get socially awkward?
Still, since she shouldn't just wander off and be disappointed no one came, he moves to approach her, calling out:]
Konoha, hello, just a second!
[And he's not even going to muddle through hi-maybe-that-was-not-for-me?— he simply pulls up the conversation on his Syntrofos and holds it up for her to see.]
[The sound of her name brings her head back around, a smile coming to her face almost automatically because, well, that's just what she's used to for greetings.]
Master Palamedes? What is i...
["It"... seems to be... her puzzle picture texts. Confusion takes over her expression with a furrow of her brow as she glances between the screen and the man holding it, finally coming up with a,]
[He... He's not a rabbit, he can just run as fast as one and she wasn't sure how to write his name, she had to make something up- ! But wait. It's his? Konoha is not one who is very skilled at schooling her expression, so the confusion is just blatant as she cocks her head, the large bun of hair wobbling atop her head.
The... username... Right... Not the name, the... user name...]
Um...
[She hesitates a moment, because since her arrival she has learned to be a bit self-conscious of the lack in a way that had never mattered in her own world, when she was surrounded by people in the same situation, but. Well, it's just the situation, so. She confesses with a little laugh that,]
I can't actually read, so I don't know it... I thought I found the one that was the same shape and size as I remember...
[But "recognizing" is not "reading", and it seems her memories of what his name looked like written out was a bit tainted by the weird corrupted stone fear that had suffused the woods when she saw it.]
[It's going to be quite embarrassing if she ever figures out that what she had thought was Liem's username was actually an unrelated word from the title of a Patho-Gen advertisement, but thankfully... she's not literate enough to, yet. As is...
Visuals help. ... But also please don't bring the tentacles into this. Konoha is valiantly attempting to pretend Corruption doesn't exist. Which might be evident in how she seems to be trying to cover every inch of herself these days, wearing a horse blanket over her back to try and hide the feathers coming into her undercoat.]
Oh, that's an easy shape to remember... !
[She pulls up the screen on her own device to try and find it, just to be sure, pointing at the first "x" she finds.]
[He's keeping the tentacles to himself, don't worry. They are staunchly contained under his poncho-like overpiece, unless he moves too quickly, then a glimpse might come out.
But for now, hidden. He leans over to look.]
That's the one. It's right in the middle, so if you see that, chances are it's me.
[Confirmed, she looks back at the symbol and squints hard at it, willing it to remain in her memory. "X... X... X..." is muttered under her breath, just to cement it in there, before...
She turns back to laugh a little helplessly. This fellow always sounded very smart (as far as she was concerned), so she can't help but ask,]
Are you a scholar, Master Palamedes?
[She's learned other people in other worlds, you didn't have to be a scholar or a noble or something to be literate, apparently, but. It's still her first guess.]

I don't. This is mine.

Well, mine is just my surname. "Sextus"-- just look for the "X".
