[Despite having been taught how to use the computers and the seeming necessity of doing so, Hans hadn't been quick to make his entrance. He's been observing, trying to get an idea of the sort of people he'll come across here, it's a while before he's entirely ready to begin playing along.

A bright, smiling face will appear on the feed, he's pretty delighted that he's learned how to work the contraption with such ease. He seems a little unsure of how to start, whether he should introduce himself or head straight into the issues here. Instead, he opts for small talk.]

It was very nice of the people here to teach us how to use these, we don't have anything like it where I'm from. [He gives a soft laugh.] I thought I should take the time to introduce myself. I am Prince Hans of the Southern Isles, but since they aren't here... [He trails off, looking just a bit concerned by that.] Hans, will do.

I haven't been here long, so any information you can provide would be most appreciated..And in turn, if there is any way in which I can assist you, please do not hesitate to let me know. [He can't help bowing his head a little at the computer. He's not really sure if you're meant to bow at them. Royalty could be watching, it seems a safe bet.]

[Eridan is half convinced this guy is off his rocker with these rock-troll things. Maybe he got high in some woods and thought the rocks were living. Eridan knows Gamzee after all, it's a possibility he's not willing to dismiss!] Okay, sure. Rock trolls. They ain't what I am. Not ewen close.

Don't matter what it looks like. You look competent, but I am hawin' my doubts. [That smile does nothing, however, it's met with Eridan's own grumpiness, but Hans isn't totally pissing him off. Just the usual misunderstandings, and him relenting on his R U SURE ITS NOT MAHJIK helped. A lot.]

So there's more than one kind of troll? Fascinating. [And he actually looks genuinely amazed by that.]

I am perfectly competent, I assure you. You have to understand I have a small amount of experience with magic and while it's by no means the same I'd certainly say there are similarities. Of course, it's not hard to believe given that there are trolls in both of our worlds but they're both entirely different things. [A beat.] Am I right?

On my planet alone there were land and sea trolls, so it ain't all that fuckin' surprisin'.

[Eridan squints.]

Similar or not don't mean shit in the long run. Because when it comes down to it, this [A notable swish of his wand, with white trailing behind it, glowing ominously] ain't magic. No more than I [A gesture to himself with his wand] am one a your stupid rock trolls.

You and apes got a lot a similarities, but you don't see me callin' you a fuckin' slack-jawed, knuckle-draggin' chimp. [Not that he hasn't in the past to other humans, of course he has, but that is besides the fucking point right now.]

[Wow, Eridan. You are an exercise in patience if Hans ever saw one. His smile strains a little at the vitriol, but he gives Eridan a moment before he gets into it.]

I think there's a little more significance to it than that, if you put your mind to it, but it's clearly a sensitive issue and I have no desire to upset you with something so petty. [So he'll smile a little wider.] Have you been here long?

[Yeah he's... kind of a patience check for everyone. Moody and grumpy as fucking ever for everyone, unless they win him over.]

[Like Hans is currently working on with all his backing down. Eridan likes that.]

It ain't sensitiwe, I just got no patience for idiocy. [But he's willing to let it go.]

About two perigees.

[Hans is very much a pick-your-battles kind of guy. There's no crown to win here, so he has no interest in making an enemy.]

Would you happen to know the squishy, pink equivalent to perigee, because I think you may have lost me there.

[GROAN. So tired of having to explain shit to humans, god why couldn't they just KNOW these things?!]

A perigee is basically a human month.

Of course! [Hey, man. It could have been year and then you being a dick would make so much more sense.] So, if you don't mind my asking, what is it that makes trolls the superior species? I've been curious since you brought it up.

Uh, ewerythin'? We're far stronger than you, our bodies far more durable, you're a wery fragile species. We also got far more adwanced think pans than you spongeless apes. That aside, you humans don't know the first thing about bein' bloody cruel at all. I could best ewery one a you in a fight with my eyes closed an' prongs tied.

Do you need a personal demonstration a my superiority, or is that a good enough fuckin' answer?

No, I think what you did earlier was impressive enough. Here I don't even have my sword on me. [Look at that adorable, self-depreciating laugh.] I wouldn't be so sure as far as cruelty goes. As a species most of us strive for good and honor, but those of us who don't can't cause quite a stir.

Good.

Yeah see, there lies the fuckin' canyon a differences between us. Trolls are wicious and powerful, we ain't afraid to take liwes where they need to be taken, [or where they don't] good an' honor don't mean shit when you're dead.

That description certainly suits a handful of people I know, but it only really gets out of hand when they're in an influential position. That's when wars start to arise and more people get involved. Not unlike here, I suppose.
