Tall, handsome in a way that's different from the high society types she's been spending most of her time with this trip. Sharp eyes, too.

"I'm Amelia, if you're inclined to know." Her head tilts ever so slightly to one side. "Shall I call you 'stranger', or do you have something else you'd prefer to be known by?"
