"Once more, let this humble woman introduce herself to thee… I am Celis Verillia."
Her voice carried a melodious quality that seemed to resonate with something deeper than mere sound.
"Sanctified of the Immortal Daylight, servant of divine grace, and now... humbly at thy service, my Savior."
She performed a humble bow as the ornaments attached to her ears swayed slightly according to her gestures.
"Right, right... but you can drop the whole 'Savior' thing."
Nero scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
"Just call me Nero. Nero Walker. That's my name."
"Nero Walker..."
Celis repeated the name softly, as if tasting each syllable.
Her half-closed eyes seemed to brighten slightly with recognition.
"'Tis a name that carries strength and purpose. I shall honor it accordingly."
She paused, then added with gentle firmness.
"However, I must humbly decline thy request, my Savior. To address thee without proper reverence would be... improper for one such as I."
