(S9/Maria) Thomas listens closely, leaning in slightly with an elbow on the table. As Maria speaks about the hardships faced by the humans and kinder Mamono of her homeland, his face becomes grim. It isn't until she mentions her being bitten that he gains a look of concern, but of respect he doesn't say anything.

Then she mentions being a virgin. His eyes widen and he holds his hands up quickly. "W-well, you d-don't have to go into details about that. Especially if it makes you feel uncomfortable," he says, his voice in a respectfully quiet, but rushed tone. "I really just...er...needed to know about...um..."

He collects himself, sighing. He gives her a genuinely sympathetic look, folding his hands. "I...didn't know about your story, and it never occurred to me that you might have been forcefully converted. It was none of my business, and I apologize."

After a solemn and slightly awkward moment, he looks to the jewel on her rod. "So, your Magic Weapon's persona is a Cupid? That's fascinating," he says, leaning back a bit amd pinching his lip in thought, "And appropriate for an article of well-being.  Cupids are exceedingly rare in non-Order territories."

He leans in a little closer, and looks at the gem directly. "Pleased to meet you!" He says, giving a small wave. He looks back to Maria. "What's her name?"
