Poppet? What was a poppet? Did she just mean puppet? But why would she call him a puppet? Hikaru blinked at her, unsure how to respond to that.
She wasn't wrong about him being cold, though, and that snapped him out of it. He at least had long sleeves, but considering he was all wet, it wasn't doing a lot for him in terms of warmth. He was definitely going to need a coat. And gloves. And all of that stuff.
Someone else might've been more suspicious of her to begin with, but Hikaru had been getting hauled around by grown adults for years now. If anything, her approach was a lot more gentle than he was used to- typically there was a lot more grabbing, and often yelling. She seemed nice enough. Maybe if he was polite, she'd let him out of the dream or whatever this was. He stepped forward to her.
"I'm Shindou, by the way," he said, with a slight bow of his head.
