[Just assume Cid has been here the whole time monching on fruits and egg sandwiches. These are some fancy chairs and less-fancy snacks but like, he's not picky. He has a thing out for taking notes, even but currently it's just filled with doodles of... ducks and ponds?

Don't mind that.

He raises his pen or quill or whatever they use around here once it looks like things are settling.]

Cid Kagenou. I'm learning magic back home and I'm learning magic here, so I guess I'm like, an extra diligent student.

[... That's the extent of his introduction. But hey, it's actually pretty helpful that people keep telling their names!! He can probably at least remember these, since for some weird reason they're all sorted by country like they're regional specialties the spirits are keeping around for kicks. Tapping his pen or quill or whatever thoughtfully against his nose.]

My fortune's something about innovation and screwing it up? Maybe I'm supposed to be looking for some kind of mad scientist.

Speaking of which, there's something going on with the whole West country, I think? Their people are pretty shady and their stuff is even shadier.

[Sorry that tells you very little but Cid is Cid, he is used to being exposited to rather than the one expositioning.]
