Running Red

[Keller]

When he realized who'd entered the room he'd try quite desperately to stand and show the respect the rank she held required. This would go as well as expected and almost result in Keller falling flat on his face if not for Heinrich's personal intervention to keep him seated. "It was s-stressful. But I managed. I'm s-sure, there's people that have to deal with worse." His stuttering rendered anything he said comedic because of the childish nature often associated to it. He was too nervous to say much else, feeling that excess chatter might seem disrespectful. Though at the same time he felt that he had to be courteous. "Do you need s-something? I wasn't expecting visitors, es-especially not someone like you." It occurred to him that he felt both incredibly honored and equal parts scared. Something he didn't think possible.
