Torie was occupying himself by simply watching the interactions between Karn, Trinity, Mimi, and Iggy, snickering to himself when Karn brought up the part about the guys hitching a ride running off. What he didn't expect of all things was for the girl in white to come over to his table and say that he should wear a helmet. Thinking for a moment before she extended her head, he thought: [i]"...Wait...I-I'm not that homely, am I?"[/i]

Once she extended her hand, he wiped his right hand off on the side of his pants and took her hand in for a handshake. [b]"Torie. Torie Derringer. And, don't worry about it. Everybody has bad days."[/b] he says, thinking that she was talking about her collapsing onto the floor. He formed a green glyph over his left hand and materialized his helmet, plopping it onto his head. [b]"And, I guess helmets do kinda suit me."[/b]
