[ Most embarrassing Master death- death by dust bunnies!
Hopping up to a standing position as they give a wave. ]
It's sure is me! [ They'll give a spin in place before coming over to get a better look at the one who summoned him. Pointing to himself as they smile. ]
Hey hey! You can call me Astolfo. I'm one of the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne! I'm a Rider. It's nice to meet you, Master.
[ Whatever the book has seems to have contradicting information, but Seodore puts it away. It doesn't matter now. ]
I'm Seodore. There's currently no grail war going on--that happened several years ago. Do you have any reservations about that?
[ As far as mana goes, Astolfo won't have a problem existing here. It's like having access to your personal water fountain, except this one tastes... rich in minerals. ]
The one and only! Are you surprised? Did you expect me to not be this cute?
[ Stupid grin is still on their face as they point to their own face. While they are curious, they aren't really bothered by what he may have been expecting instead. The clothing does tend to surprise people. ]
Seodore. [ Repeating it to test it out before giving a nod. ] As long as you're fine with being partnered with someone as weak as I am, then I have no issues, Master.
[ Well, yes. Admittedly. The Astolfo with him is much cuter than the one in the book, which is mostly why he's surprised. Perhaps Seodore would know why this is the case, but he's not that educated, and frankly, he thinks that it's nothing short of a miracle that he managed to summon a servant at all. ]
Now, now. Wait a minute~ Just call me by my name, alright? If you keep calling me by that, then I'll have to really put you in a literal servant's attire! And if you don't want that...
[ Yeah. ]
Hopefully! We won't be doing any fighting. It looks like I really lucked out in getting someone so easygoing~
Technically, we can! But you would stand out a little too much...
[ He thinks. It's one thing that Astolfo is cute, but their outfit makes it look like they're going to a cosplay convention. ]
The only clothes I have are in my size... Well, there's no harm in trying, I suppose.
[ Seo doesn't even drag Astolfo to his room--he just goes by himself. Astolfo is free to come along though, since he won't be coming out for a while. His closet is full of clothes that cover a lot of skin.
It truly is something when you get to summon a legitimate heroic spirit and the first thing you do is take them on an outing. ]
[ They pause to look at themselves for a beat and then nodding. ]
Ah, that's true! [ It would be funny to see, but also they don't want to risk embarrassing their master or ruining plans. They will follow after him. ]
I'll just borrow it until we can get something better.
[ They will happily follow after him without even waiting for an invitation to come in. Leaving it for him to pick for the moment, they will pull off the cape and bits of armor to make them fade away. Pausing to give a peek past him to what he has in his closet ]
[ i, haki, personally wouldn't be surprised by that
But shortening his name already? Astolfo sure is a friendly soul. But yeah, his closet is full of long sleeves and long pants. Nothing fun either. He has a lot of coats though. ]
[ They believe him or at least they decide not to really question it and will probably forget about it soon enough.
Pondering for a moment before they point to a random long sleeved shirt! ]
That should be fine. [ He's going to be wearing his clothes, so might as well shorten it!
Boots can probably be excused as fashion or something so they can stay. The shirt with it's silly puffy sleeves and bits definitely needs to go though. Just going to pull that right off. What's a modesty? ]
Seo starts spacing out. This was pretty much an unofficial servant summon, so he expected things to be imperfect. Would food work as mana, even if a little bit? He has sufficient mana, so that shouldn't be a problem. Automatic servant cleaner...? He heard something about that and slightly regrets that he should have thought this through a little more. Anyway, he's wondering this, because Astolfo doesn't use mana to change their clothes to whatever they want. That's what he's been led to believe anyway. Seo looks down at his hand when he gets out a small ruby.
...
Seodore will not look their way until Astolfo is done, tyvm. ]
[ It's just a shirt. Just wait until he finds a bathtub
Astolfo doesn't use mana for a lot of things, preferring to actually do things like a normal person would. They will pull the shirt they picked out and put it on to see if it's long enough to cover their skirt. While his skirt does have that band of gold on it, it can be shrugged off as fashion much like the boots. The sleeves will cover their hands as they lift up a hand and wiggle their fingers. ]

Hm hm hm... [ They are considering it! ] I wouldn't mind dressing up, but since you're asking for it, I'll call you Seodore.
[ Astolfo is going to start looking around the attic ]
If we aren't fighting, then can we go out?
