Camelot was not quite used to his armor, his new look. He certainly approved of it, though he dreaded the mocking comments he would get if anyone knew just how much it delighted him. He thought he had looked the part of his namesake before, but now? Now he felt like he was a true knight.
But there was more to it than the look. He felt a power in him, and knew that he was stronger. He felt magic in him, as well, and his instincts knew how to use that magic. That had been one of the most surprising parts. That, and his crystal fusing with his shield. The two were one now, and it was important to remember that.
In any case, things around the Outpost were strange. He had been away on earth too long, but he hadn't meant to.
His last run for supplies had turned into a patrol, during which this very strange change in him had occurred, as well as a meeting with his friend. The mother of one of the civilians trapped here, who was beside herself with misery. He had to do all he could to soothe her, and he had tried. But he was not sure he had done much to succeed. It bothered him, the fact that Tony couldn't be Camelot, and Camelot couldn't be Tony. he could not simply tell her all he knew.
Because he didn't know who she was. What if she was an agent of chaos? Was it paranoid to wonder about the 'secret' identity any civilian might have? Of course, his soul knew that he was being stupid. She would not have been so upset if she knew what was going on, would she? She wouldn't be looking for someone to blame, if she already knew who it was. Still...
He was wrapped up in these thoughts, and wandering slowly. He had been in another outpost, and walked back here.

"Which Zodiac are you?" a girl's voice asked loudly from off to the side of Camelot. The owner of said voice was lounging on the edge of a particularly large decorative fountain. Said owner had also developed a theory that only the people in the weird costumes had any answers to anything, period. The answers everyone else gave could be summed up in a shrug.
"No, wait, let me guess." Her eyes traced the painted symbol on the man's shield, and lit up. "You must be Ophiuchus. The one everyone's been talking about. On earth, I mean. Lot of astrologists are really unhappy about you, I bet."
She pushed off the edge and walked a little closer, but not too close. "You Zodiacs do know what horoscopes are, right?"

Camelot was surprised by the voice, looking around and spotting the source. He wasn't sure why he was so tense, and he smiled slowly as he took in that she was just one of the many civilians around here. Harmless. What was he expecting there?
"I'm..." but she was talking again and he waited, eyebrows lofted and head canted slightly to the side. He shook his head. Was she making that up? He wasn't sure he had ever heard of that zodiac sign before. Of course, Tony had a bad habit of only reading the news about terrorists and strange happenings. He was often behind on just about everything else.
"I'm afraid I don't know anything about horoscopes, besides that they're vague and people trick themselves into thinking they're right. I'm not a Zodiac, either. My name is Camelot, and I'm a knight."
He smiled, as if that cleared up all the confusion.
"Do you need any help? Why are you out on your own?" He supposed staying cooped up in one place for so long would make anyone a little stir crazy. He didn't know the half of what was going on around here.
