While looking around he noticed the clockwork lion and cocked his head. He approached the beast curiously while the two ladies made their introductions. The way the gears and gyros lock into place on these things always astounded him. Something about it made him want to write a song.
"Perhaps I might join you both?" He smiles easily as he approaches them. "Cyprian Valdemar Kircheis, I must say you know how to make an entrance my lady." He nods to Dare. "And am I to understand you are Factol Montgomery? It is truly an honor. Thaddeus sings your praises with every ounce of his charisma."
