It was clear to Makoto that the man she had bothered was not a native to this... Center of the Universe. His attire was so unlike anything she had ever seen, unless the Phantom Thieves' outfits counted, but even then they weren't quite as medieval fantasy in nature. It was almost like something she'd have read in a manga. Fascinating. So these gods really did bring others in from other universes. She purses her lips in a frown at his words, being new to this city without a map was truly frustrating, and searching for one alone was truthfully a bit daunting.

"Hm. Well, I hope it wouldn't be too presumptuous, but would you like to go look for one together?" Makoto asked, too polite to say aloud that he looked fairly lost. She placed a hand on her chest, red eyes friendly. Akira had taught her so much in the way of connecting with others-- before the Phantom Thieves she had managed to isolate herself in her desire to be just like her sister. Successful.

It was lonely at the top, she supposed.

The brunette student introduced herself promptly. "My name is Makoto Niijima. I'm from the city of Tokyo-- it's incredibly large... so while I'm used to the amount of people here, I know how easy it can be to get lost." Hopefully that wouldn't offend him too much, even tho she was more or less implying that he looked a little... Distant.

It was quite obvious the man before her wasn't really looking for conversation, but Makoto supposed it was too late for that, plus he seemed to be too polite to bow out. She paused for a moment, wondering if there was a way she could gracefully let him be on his way, but to her surprise he agreed to go look for a map with her as well as formally introduce himself. His name is foreign and he admits to growing up somewhere very different from this city as well, although Makoto figured it was easy to surmise his city was nothing like Tokyo.

"It's nice to meet you, Asch." His name is difficult to say on her tongue, but she does her best. She nodded in agreement with him, looking around with wide red eyes. "The city reminds me of something from a science fiction novel, almost." The technology mixed with the ancient Greek architecture was certainly strange. So neither ofthem had seen anything like it before...

Makoto put her hand to her chin in thought. "We should probably look for government buildings first? If they even have them... Do you have any ideas?"
