[X] Scream: Who is this person?! Why are they here!? Why are they staring at you?! Why do they smell like blood!?

First impressions are very important.
 
Okay, so the Jagen's dead, the bow lord is tired and we just boxed ourselves into a cave on a mountain full of enemy bandits.

...told ya we should've gone with the merc option.

[X] Speak: "Um… hello? My name is Ryza. What's your name?"

As funny as the other two would be, those are kind of the last things we should do right now.

Fire emblem that doesn't take itself too seriously is the best.

[X] Fly: You don't like this, you don't like this at all, too close too close you need space!

Being scared makes sense, and I kinda want to see how she will react to what appears to be a scared child.
 
Thoughtful proc?

"Where's that asshole that was giving me a headache and holding me in that void? I need to kick them in the dick. A lot."

"Where's my dad?"

... Well, dead, but still.

[X] Speak: "Um… hello? My name is Ryza. What's your name?"

I might even vote for scream normally, but we are Thoughtful.
 
I really want to scream for comedy, but it would also be a pretty bad idea.

so I will say screaming is a logical reaction since even if Ryza is thoughtful she did just wake up and there's someone she doesn't know that smells of blood which would be scary for most people.

Now she'll probably want to apologize afterwards but it does makes sense.
 
Bad ideas in the very beginning can be fun without being damaging.
It could also end with an arrow in our head, which admittedly I don't believe would happen because that's just a mean day 1 bad end that serves little purpose. Something more likely to happen though is that our scream attracts the attention of the rogue knights.

I do agree with this, I'm just letting my more paranoid practical side prevail here.

I'm going to be away from my computer with family until at least Saturday, so feel free to continue the discussion.

Quoted for truth: I'm not going to kill Ryza off without giving you multiple chances to correct course, so if you're worried screaming is going to lead to something terrible then don't worry, I've never liked of gotchas like that so I wouldn't inflict it on you.

It might not be the optimal choice, but since when have people under stress made optimal choices?

I can understand and respect that.

just wanted to make clear on some noncomedic reasons for that choice.

And let's be honest we probably will fight someone soonish and this vote tbh feels more like setting up the relationship between Artemis and Ryza.
