Clemente
Clem feels like he's in one of those slow motion scenes in an action flick when Wessex presents her hand. He probably looks robotic with how he clamps down on any desire to tremble or rush, clasping his hand to hers and shaking firmly. She's just so fucking cool holy shit. And then - "Welcome to the family, kid."
Clemente freezes, pale eyes wide and flickering with a myriad of emotions he can't hope to conceal from her. She is offering him the one thing he has always wanted, something that was never even granted to him in the first place. A family, a place to belong. People like him who will have his back, look out for him even if it's just on the most basic level. Being a single face in a sea of followers doesn't bother Clem, not when it means he's part of the united whole. "Thank you," he says earnestly, gaze moving between them as Amun adds his welcome. He doesn't expand on his gratitude if only for lack of proper vocabulary to describe how he feels. Not that he would have, if only to save face in front of the pair of them.
He still has to try and look cool, even if he's practically on the equator with how chill he is at this point.
Then they're giving him his task, and his spine straightens, drawing him to his full gangly height over them as he absorbs every task and offered advice. He jolts a little at the mental connection, eyes wide, but his mouth erupts in a fanged grin at the prospect of telepathy. That's useful. Clem certainly would have made use of that on the streets if he'd had such a cool talent. Amun speaks last, bestowing his new nickname - and Clem doesn't even mind it actually - as well as a small warning. Clem nods seriously, already abuzz with energy and the desire to go sneaking around on his Queen's behalf. He's not exactly sure what Amun is to him, so he's just kinda an additional mouth. Seems right. "I'm good at blending in, I'll see what I can find out." He's slightly intimidated by the idea that people might just not say anything interesting around him, but Clem fully intends to become the perfect fly on the wall.
