-Makoto Aiko/Aikoto-

As the boy awaited a reply from one of them so that he could procure their names for easy access, he was rather caught off guard by his response, but he felt it was plausible that he didn't hear his name when talking to Suki. Aikoto tilted his head to the side slightly as he let out a nervous chuckle, and felt that at this point he probably should of gone solo. He was trying to befriend people already, and yet he believed he was already making a bad impression on some of them, leaving them with a possibly bitter taste in their mouths. Either way, from what he could learn, the boys name was Umichi and it seems everyone right now was for letting the beta-tester guy lead. However, he felt it was pressing to make amends right now while he could if he could figure out how they felt truly. With a smile and a voice that was toning down his hubris even further, he spoke to the black-haired boy in a much more solicitous way along with the beta-tester just in case he didn't hear his name earlier too.

"Ah pleasure to meet you Umichi, apologies for acting a bit disrespectful as I assumed you heard my name when I introduced myself to Suki... I won't make any excuses for that. The name is Aikoto, and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance Umichi... and yours too beta-guy! I look forward to working alongside with you all in this world."

With that said, he finished off with a smile and decided not to interrupt them for now, but rather study their patterns to possibly avoid striking a nerve with any of them. The boy acquired the guide book to process some more of the information and further harvest knowledge for further use prior to any encounters. He needed to take precautions for the journey ahead to avert any possibility of suffering so early in this "game," if it could could ever be called that at this point. 

As he read through the guide, he caught sight of what was to be the boss of this floor which gave a detailed explanation about tactics to defeat it. However, before he could even get started on it, he quickly closed the book due to a screen popping in front of him. It was a friend request from what he could obviously discern, however he found it rather peculiar that Suki didn't accept his when he sent one to her. He cocked his eyebrows up a bit, pondering on if he irritated Suki to an extent, but just shrugged it off for now and poked the he button accepting it. Now that he thought about it, a few seconds ago he was acting a little bit haughty, but it honestly wasn't that bad in his opinion since it was straightforward and sort of the truth. He could only hope she wouldn't hold such a thing against him and quietly pocketed the book. As he did so, he scanned over each of them to see how they were fairing for the most part, looking to find any inconsistencies that needed to possibly be cleared up before heading off. The boy did what he had performed when attempting to add Suki, inputted Umichis name, and sent him a friend request. While awaiting his return, he took the liberty of scanning over over crowd in search of any potential members of this clique before bring his gaze back to the three of them. With Sukis words being said, he nodded to her in acknowledgement to her idea which he couldn't disagree with a sound idea as that.

"With that said, where to we traverse to exactly, and how do we go about it? I know that we shouldn't provide such trickery, however if we are followed it may take us an elongated amount of time to get stronger with people cluster in the same areas from my hypothesis... There are also probably myriads of people who understand where they need to go, and leave others behind in the dust for scraps. We need a few plans just in case something goes awry so we can help others and ourselves without hoarding all the strength... so, how does running and talking sound to you guys? Any problems with that once we form a group... party... thing, or whatever the heck my friends said?"
