Rose hangs back on self-identification, and it works out because Feferi guesses and Dave confirms. She figured it would go like that, but she nods anyway to reinforce Dave's yep.

Really, approaching the way she did was just common sense. Don't go startling people with swords even in peaceful circumstances, right?

She catches the way Dave stands with her - it feels too deliberate to miss - then blinks and raises his eyebrows as he turns around the introduction.

"Your 'gillfrond'?" She looks to Feferi, taking in the fins, which really were impossible to miss. She knows about sea dwellers already (thanks Eridan), but it's the first she's seen one in person. "Nautical puns now? Are you doing it for yet another mistaken definition of irony, or have you at last lowered your treasured personal banner to make way for sincere sentiment?"

In any case, she walks over now to offer a hand to his girlfriend.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Feferi. I don't think I got the chance to chat with you before I was snatched up into this little game, so you'll have to forgive me if there's some critical future conversation with you I've missed out on." She smiles, and it's genuine. It's good to pick up another ally, and she seems much more approachable than the guy she ran into in the catacombs.
