Algidus watched AJ emerge from the foliage with interest, not the least bit of fear despite the presence she was projecting. He was of the mind that his powers and strength put him well and above the other sentient inhabitants of this planet--likely the non-sentient ones too, in fact. The weapons that he could see on her also did little to make him feel threatened, given the natural armor he came sporting and his ability to call up more of it if situations became dire. That being said, the idea of her trying to make any demands of him made him chuckle quietly, but he extended his reflective ochre-colored hand to clasp over hers nonetheless.

"You can call me Algidus, by the way," he nodded, pulling his hand back once they'd completed the shake. "You're lucky. I don't offer my assistance to just anyone."
