Ah, Alphinaud. [ With the sudden call of the Leveilleur twin's name, the Exarch's head raises as scarlet red eyes are seen from under the shadows of his cowl in mirrored surprise. ] Though I can say I would not have been too surprised to see a familiar face, I was not expecting yours given the state of things back on the First.

[ With the Exarch's summoning acts of course. His head shakes lightly, blinking back at the task and smiling in response to the hurried words. ] It's quite alright, that actually provides me with more information I have yet to be aware of.

[ That there are others from their shard or other here as well. Distantly he has to wonder, is their Warrior as well..? Another time. As Alphinaud suggest, they should focus at the task at hand. Now, the Exarch may not be too tall himself, that's where having a cane on hand comes in. ] Please, allow me my friend.

[ He raises the golden staff to gently snag a length of it against it, ushering to loosen its high hold to make it easier to reach. Just.. enough.. there! A crystallized hand takes hold of the ribbon, extending the other side for the young Elezen to take. ] There we are. Now, shall we?

[ Once Alphinaud is ready, he will move with him to begin the wrapping of the tree. ] Have you been in this world long?
