⊰⚔☢⊱ Isn't it obvious though? He's not the kind of man to run away even when told to by others save for few. He's there out of curiosity getting the better of him and now seeing one rush past him had at first made him choose otherwise. Lance taken out of it's sheathe and held out before him in silence. At first he had thought that this would be easy but the size of the army seemed to have made him go for the other plan upon turning away to run. Alright, this guy was smarter than he is and he's sure as fuck not going to let a bunch of these son of a bitches take his ass out so easily. He'll do things his way, be his back up with cerulean optics focused straight ahead of him.           "Th' fuck didja do t' 'em tha' pissed 'em off?!"             To think he only had dropped by on his way to Olympus Square just to check and see if anything else had changed but this took his need for action to a whole new level. Good to know he can finally get some entertainment but they can't handle an army this large without back up and it didn't seem his classmates were around either. Shit, if Seven and Queen were around then maybe he would have stayed there to hold them back until they arrived. Didn't seem like they were but he knew he needed to get moving and let his newly gained 'friend' come up with a plan for their survival. At least he can stop saying that he's bored to death with something like this going on and being a main attraction for his attention.             What else is better than this? Not much else given that all they needed to do is keep running and get to a vantage point is his best guess. He's the heavy hitter anyways in his own case knowing that one of them had to be the brawn over the brains of most operations which meant that this would sure as hell get easier if this guy figured out something to do for them. Fucking sons of bitches needed to get their asses taken out before they got cut off, he's only doing the retreat strategy as a means of playing it safe briefly otherwise would be the incoming battle. Incoming battles however, won't be nothing different knowing that someone would need to start being a demo man against these fuckers.

Glancing around she noted a shadow—there were plenty, but this one moved. She, upon instinct, span on her heels to follow after it. Hesitation shattering through her own force of will as she approached; perhaps a little disappointed that the shadow turned out to be a figure; and that figure, a person. A male, apparently quite a bit taller than her. But that wasn’t exactly a reason to back down—not that she planned on challenging them or anything. “Oi—” she called out, albeit rudely, and placed a hand on her waist, “where do you think you’re going?”

⊰⚔☢⊱ Perhaps it didn't help that the idiot in question had come there himself, Olympus Square was what he had intended to try finding work at and possibly being a contender only for him to notice quite a few things. One, the library is blocked off by gargoyles, two, the river was fucking weird, and three it was all over like someone decided to release Etro's brand of hell upon them given the goddess was known after all for death. What the fuck did he miss? He's surely not wandering around without a memo is he? Seemed like it given that the damn place is beginning to make him question whether or not if he should draw his lance even with his current venture them proving to be slightly more entertaining than usual. Maybe he can get some action here, which would be about damn time, he wanted to fuck something or someone up for a good while now. At least, he would have continued his walk, his anticipation even building just as he had heard someone calling him. "Tch, th' fuck y' want with me?" Rude in his own right as well, this dragoon is quite honestly bored enough and decided to see what would go on between their little chat for now. Unless it wasted his fucking time in which he won't exactly stick around for in any case. One thing is, is this a man or a woman? He can't exactly tell so he'd figure it's the former for now even if he could take note of a few things upon turning around. She seemed disappointed, that made two of them considering the lancer wanted something to fight not a conversation of all things. "If y' jus' called m'ass t' stop for some bull shit then make it fuckin' quick." Making it quick at least would mean that the taller of the two would be able to continue on his merry way, so he can satisfy his craving for a fight. Battle is quite honestly the way that he could get out his aggression, his anger, and more at their current predicament. It would be a surprise if he didn't blow up on her if she decided to make his explosive temper act out entirely. Against what both classmates of his would want even, knowing that only one could calm him down if that were to happen. Unfortunately, said class mate hasn't been seen around just yet which meant he'd have free reign to fight.

♬ → "How about I go buy you some new clothes?" He offered, although he’s not really sure if his expenses could cover whatever this guy’s choice clothes were. He doesn’t look to be the same size as Hide though, what with those bulging muscles and all, so there was no way Hide could lend him something to wear, for fear that his clothes might rip apart. Haha, he was exaggerating. But it would look awkward on the guy if he had to walk around wearing a too tight orange-yellow shirt.

⊰⚔☢⊱ "Tch, what th' fuck ever." Heavy as his accent might be, his anger is one thing and there is no easy way of stopping him. He's quite honestly one of the worse to try pushing around or even try to make angry. Could he be blamed? Maybe in his own case, definitely not in this unfortunate teenagers given he just had to run into him of all people over someone more... calm about such things. It was only coffee and he was acting as if he had just tossed a threat at him instead, his logic certainly can be terrifying. He isn't even from this place, given Rubrum was different than Earth and there were quite the few differences to it at that. However, asking him to go into would be a mistake whenever he cannot even name all of the nations there properly without being corrected. He carried his lance anyways only because of him being allowed to, he is after all apart of the military where he had come from however much he had to question just who the hell does this anyways. Runs into someone that is trying to get his bearings and dumps coffee on them. Wait, what? That got him to pause briefly, clothes were nice sure but at the same time shouldn't he try working for those? Possibly, plus he wanted to keep his uniform. "... fuck, jus' gimme a new tank top 'n th' same color an' we'll be a'ight, I can't lose these cuz 'o m'class mates needin' some way t' recognize m'ass 'ere." Which was the truth, he'd rather keep his red mantle than get rid of it after all and he damn sure won't allow for it because that is who he is. He's not going to let them think he's somebody else if they do show up.

"I dislike sitting around also." Her words were muttered under her breath. Yes, she detested it. There was so much more she could do back home. However, all they could do for now was to search for a way out. There was no use in ruminating over what could be. “‘Only have my lance’. Nine, please. I would be terrified of you with just your lance. We both know you are not exactly the best when it comes to magic." Turning from him, Queen stepped toward the exit of the underwater tunnel - glancing over her shoulder as she did so to ensure he was following her. Once she was sure, the female started walking toward the exit with a hand on the hilt of her sword as if expecting to be attacked. "Haunted?" There was a sound of skepticism in her voice before Queen frowned slightly. "I am not sure if that would be the best place to go considering our lack of skills. If there is something dangerous to fight there, I would rather we be able to fight it at our full strength than at whatever level of strength we are at now. Unless you believe it to be safe?"

⊰⚔☢⊱ "An' don't cha ever forget tha' either, don't fuckin' need self control when I got m'own way 'o doin' shit." Honestly, he knew that he wasn't on a trail for survival but could that really be thought of as foolish? Yes, he had no self control, didn't think one bit and always jumped in first without daring to think about the consequences of his actions. It's just that he didn't have a reason to consider it, the idea of keeping himself under was nothing he felt like dealing with. He did have a sense of relief knowing that she's at least on the case involving this riddle they were dealing with as much it's irritating him to know that he's going to be stuck here when he wanted to go back home at some point soon. "Yeah, he ain't been 'round th' damn room when I've been there, prolly keep missin' 'em." Yes, he realized she was joking at least, but his moods often caused others to be wary around him. An explosive temper and his moods were not the best of combinations after all. Good thing it's mostly being directed at this so called paradise given he's feeling with each passing day more annoyed at it. The fucking place seemed like a prison in his opinion and that didn't sit well with him either. As for what she was saying, she's right, their mother wouldn't get herself caught so easily or dare to come there. It's for the best in any case, they didn't need her getting dragged into their business knowing the dangers and risks. But, there was still the other thing, that at least made him turn his gaze into a more questionable one. Is she serious? It's an opportunity for him to get his aggression out and that was her opinion and decision? "Queen, are y' bein' fuckin' serious? 'm only considerin' tha' cuz what else can I do 'cept fightin', there ain't shit I can do unless y'got other ideas." Which is likely, she is smarter than him, but it's not like he's able to perform any other tasks as easily. Fighting is what causes him to go harder, unless her reason involved her being an issue. In that case, maybe he'd reluctantly agree to not do it, if she can provide another way for him to do something. "Unless it's cuz 'o..." He's only trailing off because it's obvious what he's referring to, to push her into her is not why he wanted to be a contender after all. Yes, he wanted to do something to help, but he rather not cause two problems. For now he's merely keeping his hand near his lance, trouble can come from anywhere is the main thought although it's brief. Safety is the reason, something that every part of him wanted to remain. "Figured, an' I couldn't heal for shit anyways an' even cast some 'o th' fuckin' stuff right." This is why he began to move, after her towards the exit and beginning to wonder if they would get that back at some point. Not that magic does him any good, his capabilities with it weren't the greatest. The question however, even what came after was a bit unexpected, did she not want to go there? He figured they might be able to at least get a peek and if not that then leave off for one of the other areas. "Y'really askin' me tha'? Y'know I'll jus' go by tha' damn place, jus' t'see it for myself then move on if it seemed like a fuckin' mistake t' go in yet. Not unless y'wanna go look at Tomorrow Land or Olympus Square." The other two options, besides, there might be places he missed there that she could get a look at if she so desired of it.

"I assume that if you have been to the Olympus Square and Tomorrow Land locations, you have searched for an exit and come up with nothing." Their current location - Atlantis - had also seemingly come up dry. A small smile showed itself briefly on her lips as she realized the irony in that thought before it was wiped away. "Haunted Land, hm? Well…" She didn’t like the sound of that. Queen returned her gaze to the fish, watching them swim as she thought. "We have certainly faced obstacles that others would deem ‘scary’ before. However, Mother is not here to revive us if something should happen. Do you think it is a good idea to go marching into that place?" Though she realized that it was Nine that she was speaking to and what his answer would most likely be (a resounding yes), she found that she needed that small reassurance. “If one of us is injured or dies, that might be the end of it. I have my blade but all of my other abilities have seemingly disappeared…”

⊰⚔☢⊱ "C'mon, I ain't gonna fuckin' change for nobody an' y'know tha' too, 'm not someone tha' plans on changin' jack shit anyways." Self control is nothing he felt he needed, so why bother using it? He had his own way of dealing with things and it involved going as far as to charge in recklessly. It got him this far along, so there's nothing else that he would do to behave differently. The dragoon's bravado is one of the more necessary parts involving the fact he had to keep them all strong in some form by his own means. "Heh, y'still 'aven't changed shit either y'know, whatever th' fuck this place is we'll get outta 'ere." His belief, but would they really? Didn't seem likely and it's always for the best to find out such things for themselves instead of doing nothing. As for her words, she heard other people on her floor at least? Well, there's that at least, he knew there's people around on his floor too. He still had yet to meet his room mate. "M'room mate ain't even 'round yet, I know whoever th' fuck I share a room with is 'ere, but he ain't anywhere 'n it when 'm goin' t' crash for th' night or sumthin'." His temper is rising perhaps, enough that it would be an issue, at least until he heard her command just to tell him she noticed. Calming down would be the hard part, his aggression and his rage were not easy to quell knowing he grew often irritated of doing nothing but standing around. "A'ight... 'm gonna fuckin' play it your way for now, mom's not 'ere either an' if she does show up then great. Otherwise? Fuck." If their mother were around however, that might prove to be an issue as well, given their adoptive maternal figure would be trapped there too with them and he had yet to realize this as well. For now, he'll do things her way, treat this like a mission they were given by their mother and move from there with hopefully something turning up about probable ways out. And she's right, both areas so far had nothing important for him to look at although he hadn't gone too far into Tomorrow Land. The Haunted Escape? He isn't entirely certain about it given he had yet to visit that area either, it's just he had forgotten or never really had been corrected yet involving the title of it. "Y'got tha' right, Olympus has got an arena for us t'fight in, might be able t'get a fuckin' job 'n tha' place instead 'o goin' 'round doin' nuthin'. Rather not waste m'damn time 'ere by not trainin'." Although he did find himself staring briefly at the fish, going about the tank yet only briefly enough that he pointed his gaze back towards her mere moments later. "Hell fuckin' yeah I am, we need t'do sumthin' an' shit, tha' is a helluva lot better than doin' nuthin' but sitting' 'round." Even with the risks, he'll take it of course, he always would knowing it might get them one step closer to something or one step closer to getting out of there if they can. "Only got m'lance, we might be fucked in some form cuz 'o it, I don't have m'abilities either. Might need t'get ready for fightin' without 'em."

"And not really… Truthfully, a lot of these places have some sort of secret area hidden in them, I think… But I’m not sure if entering them would be beneficial for us at all,"

⊰⚔☢⊱ "Y'really haven't heard 'o it? Your room mate told me 'bout it when I met 'em." As much as his usual fashion of speech and then some was not necessarily a source of comfort it did seem to come off to help her to a degree so he's fine enough with that. It's fine enough by him, given he's not one of the brightest but there is more than enough to make him wonder just what else might be lurking there. So far it didn't seem like much else. Haunted land got his interest not just due to the ghosts, but, multiple other reasons given there might be a chance to find something out if it's known for being frightening. "Could go check it out later if y'wanna, otherwise we'll go along t'other places." As much as it might not be of any use, there are more than enough areas for them to go get a peek at knowing that their current situation won't change unless they at least look into somewhat more. He's fine being second banana for the time being unless she had other ideas in mind. That would be good also, given one of them had to be the brains of this operations and it's well evident he isn't fairly... intelligent in any case. At the same time, she had a point though, entering them might end poorly and he knew that is always a risk for anywhere which tended to fall on deaf ears. He saw no reason to listen usually. "An' at th' same fuckin' time, might be able t'find shit out, unless y'got sumthin' different in mind other than tha' place."

For a moment, she mauls over the idea of asking the other just what he expects to get out of this particular area, seeing as he seems… Well, generally displeased. Though, of course, this could simply be his personality coming into play, which Samus doesn’t particularly doubt. After all, she’s somewhat the same in that sense.

⊰⚔☢⊱ Huh, why she seem so weary? It's not like he hasn't seen something similar to her suit, magitek armor was as advanced they were back at his home. So her getup to him was something that could be called probable on their scale or side of the war. He's an idiot, but he's not that foolish to go as far as to push it whenever she can most likely handle him better than most others could regardless of how cocky he may be. Plus she didn't give off herself to be hostile which could be a cause behind his decision to keep back and simply observe for the time being on what she might do. Didn't seem like anything good so far, which made this pointless when he was craving action. Perhaps it's a good thing, perhaps not, but that's quite honestly depending on any potential changes of their situation. Plus this rather... confident individual is not really going to leave her so soon, the lancer is more than likely to go if this proved to not be worth whatever time he's spending around there. Adding into it, she didn't react like how some would which made it a bonus for his luck, as long as it doesn't end with something boring going on then perhaps it might be a lot more beneficial for him to be nearby as part of his own reasons aside from inviting himself along whatever choice she made in exploration. Besides, there's not much else for him to do yet. Exploration over destruction for a time is fine by him, he can destroy shit later on if that's the case and it's not like doing so would cause issue. Anything is fine than him being stuck standing in place. "A'ight... if y'really wanna do tha', I can go through anyways, fuckin' tired 'o standin' 'n place an' doin' nuthin' but tha' all fuckin' day long. It's bull shit we might not be gettin' th' hell outta 'ere." There had to be a way out, right? So he'd assume, but there didn't seem to be an exit anywhere for them to take. They're stuck here, as wishful as his thoughts were on returning home soon. His classmates needed him, they needed him more than anything instead of him fucking around in this place. Not that he can be blamed for it, he needed it, he had to leave at some point otherwise they might all be going off getting themselves killed without him there at their side. Yes, he knew they were strong, but... fuck! He really shouldn't be thinking, he needed to stop thinking about this shit because it's not what is necessary for him. For fucks sake, he can't bring himself to think about it knowing that the risks were going to be strong for him if he wanted to get back there in time. Hopefully soon.

A silence dropped between them. Queen folded her arms, a frown crossing her lips in thought. He was most likely waiting to hear what she knew. After all, she was the ‘class representative’ - where she liked that nickname or not. “I have only just arrived. From what I have seen, though, it looks like there is no way out of this place.” That wasn’t what Nine wanted to hear, probably. Queen paused, adjusting her glasses before fixing Nine with a serious gaze. “I have not explored every inch of each park yet, though. I…” Trailing, Queen swallowed her pride with a sigh. “I could use some help. Truth be told, I dislike taking this task on alone. Would you be willing to aid me?” Another pause. Queen frowned once again. “It would be best that we do not ask Seven to come with us. If anything happens to us then it would be up to her to get back to the rest of the class.”

⊰⚔☢⊱ "Didja fuckin' think I was gonna change in tha' short 'o time apart? Shit, 'm not tha' much 'o a dumb ass t'go off bein' sumthin' 'm not." Which is the truth, the fool isn't the type of boy that would give up on what he needs and has to do for everyone so easily. He wouldn't be himself if he were to do such a thing, it was obvious that isn't in mind for him knowing that she's at least there and safe. Good, he didn't want her to be hurt in any case and this made it all the better. It's a relief to know that she's around over constantly questioning whether or not if everyone is alright. The idea of them each being separated didn't sit well with him after all, not after this long of trying to do something himself for them. Nice as it is to see she's alive and well, even if she would have to fall off into her usual role of preventing him from having his raging temper from getting the better of him. They may occasionally bicker, but he was fine with at least having someone he can safely say he trusted enough around. He did trust Seven to a degree, but not the way he trusted Queen usually regardless of where their standing may be at. It's fine though by him, even as he realized she would be the person there attempting to keep his anger in check for the duration of their stay here. Unless King showed up, which would make things more easier than her doing so alone. "Y'didn't run into 'er yet? Woulda thought she'd be th' first damn person t'meetcha 'round 'ere." He might not know where the others are, but maybe they'll find out soon. Damn it, she didn't seem to know much either, this just got better more and more for him because he's getting pissed off at this place. Boredom, a waste of time, and he didn't have anything to do save for attempting to go off into the coliseum later. It's his current thought other than exploration, but, what she said only caused his irritation at this 'paradise' to build further. Fuck. "Damn it, we are gonna be fuckin' stuck 'ere for a good while then." But, what she had mentioned at least garnered his attention again from his anger. "A'ight, we can go 'round th' locales, been t' two 'o 'em at least. Olympus Square an' Tomorrow Land, there's also fuckin' Haunted Land tha' I heard 'o from Seven's room mate." At least he's of use, as much as he might not be the best for explaining anything about each locale, he's better off just following her lead knowing this and it couldn't hurt. He has her back as much as she has his, if any trouble hits he sure as hell won't let them get near her.

"If you don’t mind my asking, exactly what has this cashier done to make you so upset?"

⊰⚔☢⊱ Yeah, sure, he did technically get turned down repeatedly from getting a job but did that stop him from getting angry? Nope, it's a repeat of the coffee incident all over, but this time he seemed angry enough to demolish the shop if he didn't get stopped at this point. Perhaps it's a good thing he decided to come by. "Got called a fuckin' ruffian an' told they ain't hirin', 'm already fuckin' annoyed they wouldn't tell me 'bout anywhere else even with tha'!" He had asked but then it went from there, his explosive temper might be a main cause, but they could have at least gone on by this without insulting him over the fact he wanted to get work. He's not that fucking stupid. Human as he may be, he's unfortunately the reckless kind of human that would get himself involved in violence and more if it meant that he got to get out of there quicker. Which would not be the case, senseless violence won't get him anywhere and he had yet to realize this knowing his usual approach is to charge in head first. Head first, fists moving, and his temper being a driving force which is not easily stopped by others save for two of them and the one that is around, she's possibly off elsewhere trying to learn more knowing Queen. Which would mean he needed a way to get his anger worked out of his system soon before he hurt someone or himself. Might not even be worth his time, given he's clearly contemplating leaving this place and heading off elsewhere. The unspoken rule of unfortunately dealing with him, is to never set off his temper, as easy as it may be to do so. He's prone to it after all and currently is questioning who the fuck this other guy is. "Th' fuck're ya?!" Incredibly rude, but understandable knowing that he isn't exactly in one of his more... finer moments at this point of time. Hopefully he would leave this without causing bodily harm to the cashier.

"Do you know a way out of this place?"

⊰⚔☢⊱ "If I knew th' fuckin' way outta 'ere I woulda not been 'ere." Familiarity in the form of one that had seemed to hold them all together in the form of her attempts at leading them. They were thankfully not going to deal with one thing involving him and Eight potentially entering in some form of contest or at worse him and Sice knowing the lancer and shinigami were prone to doing such things after all. He knew he recognized her, having had come down there from curiosity and the like when he noticed someone familiar enough to strike a cord. She's safe at least, just like Seven, if they could find the rest of them that would be fan-fucking-tastic in his opinion. The idea of them being the only ones around is what caused his distress previously given he didn't know what happened to the others. At least she's there, Queen was smarter than he is and he knew this, perhaps that's what caused him to have a form of relief that it'd provide aid more since he's useless when it came to planning and is better off as muscle. It's one of the smartest decisions available to them in any instance because he isn't keen on changing his role. He's certain that they're going to be at risk at some points of their exploration, but right at the moment that's not his main focus. Finding out what she knew is a necessity, especially since Queen is the one that tends to be better with formulating such things. If there is an exit, might not even be one given he's gotten a look around a few of the locales and only had just recently returned from Olympus Square. The coliseum is attracting his attention further because it seemed better than aimless wandering until one of them wanted to start exploring with him.             "We gonna be 'ere for a good fuckin' while or sumthin'? Seven's th' only other one I've seen outta us."

⊰⚔☢⊱ Hmm, she seemed about as lost as he is anyways and they seemed to have one hell of a way to find out where or how to get out of there from. One of them could always try pointing the differences out more or even go on about something while the other keeps going. He didn't know but everything seems better than just sitting around doing nothing, he's interested enough in how she could have gotten herself lost but supposed there's not really much of a guess there. So in that case, he'd just need to figure out something to do himself as a means of assisting them which wouldn't exactly aid him either. "Shit, an' I ain't tha' good with fuckin' directions either." Or listening, because his classmates were quite honestly able to go on about that one with relative ease. Never expect him to pay attention to orders or to even pay attention easily, he winds up more times than not getting himself in trouble and plenty of it due to his boredom being the main source. The way out had to be there somewhere though, he knew the way he came from had a dead end to it, given he had to double back. He isn't going by landmarks, it's more the fact he's going by frustration and then some with the most recent issue going along on how to get out of this damn place when he knew nothing about it. Dungeons were nothing but a pain in his ass more than other places because of his most recent experiences with them. Fucking places can kiss his ass, but that of course is another story with their most recent idea here. Lady Luck is not in their favor, given that they're wandering aimlessly and the whole damn place is nothing except mind numbing irritation and boredom for this idiot. Gotta be one way out of there aside from death, he'd prefer to not end up dying down there and the idea is only making him grow all the more irked by their current position. Lady Luck just couldn't smile upon them briefly? Apparently not given he's already considering charging along down the hallways until he finds his way out. "Y'think? I tried doin' tha' an' winded up gettin' into more dead ends an' some 'o this is fuckin' bull shit." His mouth might... not be the best thing however if she were wanting someone mild mannered. As for her offer though, it's got his interest, they might find a way out quicker so he could continue on his merry way and figure the place out more. His classmate would need info anyways so why not? Seven's at least better with this stuff than he is and it's not like he planned on changing that around over night. "A'ight, we might as well seein' as how it's better than both 'o us goin' off alone like a pair of dumb asses anyways." For now, at least this should help him learn something about someone else and might come in handy later too given some of the shit that could happen. Better than nothing, way better than trying to play guess where the exit is alone.

⊰⚔☢⊱ Seemed he had company, enough that it caused him to pause with his choice of exploration temporarily. Well, not like Queen's around to lecture him, marking this as being nothing different than his usual attempts at conversation. "Yeah, 'm one 'o th' new fuckin' arrivals 'round." Figured it's easier to be honest, that is after all one of the better policies he had however much he's shrugging off his current thoughts. Screw that, he had better things to do and thinking is not his forte either knowing that standing around only made him irritated. "Th' hell y'wanna know for?" Didn't stop him from sounding rude, from sounding like his adoptive mother had barely taught him a thing on manners. It took him ages to figure out what to do for the potion brewing, irritated him to no end and even caused him to almost strike the damn thing with his holy lance. Fucking thing was really not his forte, magic after all causes him an issue more times than not with a meager skill in it and his preferred stance is charging in. Getting a job would wait until later, since obviously he didn't know about careers being a necessity at the moment. They usually were paid wages for completing missions in his class which would make this a learning experience for him to discover what he can do. It's why he's only making one choice. Chat him up, see if he knew a bit more then go off on his original objective if this turns into a waste of time since he hated wasting it more than anything. Besides, Haunted Land isn't going anywhere and someone would press him into trying this potentially unless she decided to do so herself.

Oh God, he was in for it now. What’s worse was that Hide could positively tell that this guy was no stranger to fighting, be it with a weapon or not.

⊰⚔☢⊱ There goes his tank top, perhaps even his jacket with that incident and now he would need to find some other clothing. He's pissed off alright, if anything angering him was one of the more foolish choices given he's prone to doing anything whenever he got pushed about like this or even over something revolving around this situation. Misunderstandings were part of what he didn't seem to grasp and this was unfortunately going to be normal by how his temper had flared and the way he's glaring at the moment. Fucking asshole, fists balled up, he's trying so hard to just not draw his lance.            "Oi, th' hell didja run th' fuck into me for, huh?!" It's bad enough that he's not someone that somebody should anger, but it's worse whenever he's going as far as to stir up a fight because someone spilled fresh and hot coffee on him that currently is making his temper all the more worse. Never run into someone with a bad temper after all, which he had in any case and seemingly was ready to start hitting him if he didn't get calmed down soon. He is an idiot after all, a fool in most cases because of him... not exactly thinking. Perhaps that's what is going to lead him to getting into trouble at this rate, one wrong move and he could wind up being in plenty of it but did he care? Nope, he didn't obviously if he's that willing to get into a fight with someone that had only bumped into him and apologized for the whole spilling hot coffee thing. It's not exactly going to help him much for whenever he starts trying to figure out how they're going to get back home, then again that's unlikely of him also.

"…." saying nothing as she holds up the card to her helmet to get a better look, Samus can’t help but think it’s rather silly to take a picture of someone who’s appearance can’t even be seen. With a frown, the female still holds onto her card as her gaze drifts over to the other stranger in question…

⊰⚔☢⊱ Truthfully to the lancer that was staring over his newly gained ID this place wasn't any different than the run of the mill technology that the Byakko's had. Armor that could tear people apart easily, bombs that can destroy nations and kingdoms, nothing could quite compare to that with how he figured it. Yeah, sure, maybe it was a bit cool at first but the fool had the mentality of a child in some ways and he was bored enough of this place. Exploration was the name of the game and so far he's been at least trying to get a sneak peek to some places more instead of standing around. The idea of battle or trouble wasn't going to stop him anyways given he's gone through a hell of a lot more worse previously. Only question is, just what exactly is this lady here for? Same reason as him perhaps, boredom, exploration, maybe even trying to claw her way out of there even if he's curious enough about her get up. Looked about like one of the troops from back at home, minus their choice of weaponry thankfully and an attempt at murdering him on sight. Good thing too, interested as he is in a fight, they'd probably get in trouble for getting into it there of all places. Not that it mattered typically to him, but, she did look about like she can give him a run for his money as is about as much as he figured he'd give her hell trying to take him out. Not that he's going to push his luck for now, no need to, she's not interested and he doubted his attempts at losing his mind numbing boredom would go appreciated. Fortunately, he's more interested in getting a look around this so called future set up for people to follow through with. Clearly it's not all that different to the usual things he's seen before. Tomorrow Land looked about like the Byakko base without the military drones trying to chase after them or even the other nightmares caused by it. Fuck that place in his opinion, but now isn't the best time to think of it. Suppose to be exploring, not sitting around and doing nothing, yeah? He'd assume so with his current mind set trailing off towards his itch for action. If there's something great for them to go for, then of course he's doing to have fun just by fighting his way through. Because screw sitting around, there's gonna be a lot he wants to do and needs to do. So he'll go as far as to stir up trouble if that's the case so he can satisfy part of his boredom. "Shit lady, y'look like ya wanna go in t'destroy instead 'o look th' fuckin' place over." So he would assume, if she does then he's willing to join in on that naturally given the current circumstances did nothing to help him by much. One could call his wants childish in ways, but truly it is nothing unexpected knowing his circumstances weren't normal. Social contact with anyone else was unlikely for him that far back which made these situations... not a good idea with him. His classmates were the ones he would have socialized with to something of a degree though whilst growing up. Oh well, but at the moment he's currently a bit preoccupied with the idea of getting some action. It's one of the best things so far if someone like this looked about like she was going to tear some fucker a new one about like he would to anyone that dare push him about. So far it seemed likely, maybe. He'll find out he guessed, optics focused entirely on the armored female as if continuing his little game of assumptions given she's possibly one of the oddest things he's seen so far. Well, make that somebody that seemed far more interesting than other objects around this area did anyways. Depends on what happens or who else the idiot meets knowing that his attention may not be held for too long at this time.

          “Uhm, are you lost? You look like you belong at the coliseum.”                             That was not quite the apology he was going for.

⊰⚔☢⊱ Libraries, ugh, he hated reading and had honestly no idea why he just decided             to come by this place. Books weren't his thing and it's obvious he'd rather not             try combing through them.             His classmate would have an easier time reading here, books probably would             work better for her than him. Well, make that books would be better for others             instead of the lancer. He doesn't read old tomes and it isn't his thing either due             to his preferences. If anything, he only came by for exploration over the usual             studying attempts. Seems he missed the memo involving the coliseum outside,             otherwise he would have sped up to get a good look at it. Fighting is his thing             after all.             Perhaps a good thing that he hadn't known yet, letting him go off on his own in             such places would have been foolish but the idiot rarely cared due to the usual             way he thought of things. Huh, the library here almost seemed larger than the             one back in Suzaku. That's a feat, then again, possibly not one knowing that a             few places could have larger libraries than one. Queen would have a field day             there with Trey, even with the fact that they probably won't be attending school             anymore while here.             Didn't seem he cared enough to change from his uniform, perhaps even had no             other clothing to fall back on. Cold as this place was, he knew one place that is             a helluva lot more colder from back home. Huh, he almost had to wonder if the             war was continuing on stronger than ever. Possibly, given he isn't sure how he             got here in the first place and there's not much else he can say about it otherwise             without knowing. Damn it, he really needed to stop thinking so much when he isn't             going to get out of here so easily.             Wait, oh, oops... nearly ran into someone after stepping back a bit and it's a good             thing the lancer is in a better mood for now. Probably would have thought nothing             about this until that remark left the other. Now he's got his attention piqued.            "Whaddya mean I look like I belong at th' coliseum?"             He'll look into it more later, especially if it's a good opportunity for him to start getting             some form of income.
