Twice now he spoke up and seemed to be drowned out or corrected. Moreso wheneveryone seemed to have so much information on each other, he had been told what they learned was gleaned though a spy network, surely the network cant be this good or this bad for everyone to know everything about each other. What did the enemy know about them then?

[i][color=39b54a] I cant take this Rose Framewerk seriously. If any of you emerge as leader, keep this joke of machine as far away from me as possible on the battlefeild before I blow it up for fun.[/color][/i]

That hurt, it hurt a lot, more than he thought it would. Wasn't the Frame supposed to be a reflection of the pilot? Would all of the work be worthless if such doubts were able to infect the team view of him? 

Absentmindedly, The boy began to wring the knots on his Obi sash keeping his kimono closed. It was a gift he got from another and thought to wear it for comfort. But was it just adding to what he was being mocked for?

Was he supposed to call him out on it now and start a fight outside the frames? That could be seen as childish, but if he didn't would that seem submissive? Did he just attack the guy for no other reason and be seen as the bad-guy for fighting over words or is he standing up for himself?All of this could be quite maddening until someone approached him to break him of his inner dramas.

[color=Tomato]"Name's Romeo right? You pilot the Rose? I like that. Romeo Rose. Roooommeeeooo Rooose. Has a nice ring to it. Anyway I was wondering if you would like to team up with me. We could both use someone to back us up. I was thinking about asking that Yeshua guy as well. Form a little team or something. I wonder when we should start suiting up actually..."[/color]

He looked up at the other with those honey gold eyes of his and dumbly nodded.

[color=f6989d]"There are nine of us, if he wants to solo that leaves eight of us, probably two to four teams of two to four, lots of pairing up will make it a 'king of the hill' with people betraying one another as it goes on if it counts down to just one winner. I still hold to what I said before, if we do a team of three we need melee, midrange and long range. I'm melee so I'm in no leader position, maybe if I upgrade Rose I would be better suited, but for now I'm trying not to just smash *his* frame to bits. when the bell goes off."

Subtly, the wringing hands had been working one end of the obi into a 'monkeys fist' to attack with.
