Garmay came running through the maze, her instincts still driving her in Arthur's direction. She was quite the sight, a barefoot ragamuffin, perhaps a few years younger than Arthur himself. She would never have considered herself a creature of magic. Not by Hyrule's standards, anyway. But her pointed ears decidedly set her apart as something other than human.

Her open-mouthed smile, however? That was as human as human could be.

"Hello?" she called, coming to a stop and spinning around in a circle, trying to locate her company. "Anyone here?"

When the woman came sprinting around the corner he watched her a moment instead of revealing his presence. She looked quite the sight with her odd ears and her barefoot feet. While she did appear quite harmless - so had other people Arthur had been fooled by. Even if she wasn't quite human, at least she wasn't some entirely odd creature who made inhuman noises.

So he stepped forward, away from the wall comprised of leaves.

"Who are you?"

[garmayzaya]

She spun around, her dress whipping around her. Garmay still wasn't used to seeing people who looked like they were her age. It was always a delightful surprise and she let out the tiniest, happy little shriek before catching herself at the last minute.

And then she looked at him. Really looked at him.

That was silk he was wearing. She was sure of it. And his fingernails looked...clean.

Nobility.

Garmay gave him a slight curtsy. More of a bounce, really. Garmay always seemed to bounce, no matter what she was doing. "Skye Marina Zaya," she said politely. "But most folks call me Garmay."

This was a woman who was easily excitable. Just his mere presence had her crying out in happiness. Something told him it wasn't because of who he was.

At her slight, bouncy curtsy Arthur did bow his head a little. Not because she was nobility but simply because she was a lady. When she introduced herself he wondered how people managed to get 'Garmay' out of that name.

"Arthur Pendragon, King of Camelot." He won't go into the list of names people called him as there were too many and some he didn't approve of.

King? Well. He was an awfully young king. In her experience, a young king meant one of two things; tragedy or treason. She'd been fortunate, that in her many travels and her short life, for the most part, it had been tragedy. Which led her to trust the various kings she served. And Garmay was one to assume the best in people. So for now, she supposed, she'd simply see him as an orphan, like herself.

A rich, powerful, noble orphan. But still.

"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, your majesty," she said, offering him a bright, cheerful, fearless smile.
