[h1]Reggie[/h1] "Nope, no one sent me, I was just curious as to why you decided to head of on your own. My mom always used to say that I was too damn curious for my own good and that it was going to get me killed one of these days, but that day is not today . . . probably." Reggie replied to Eve question's lightheartedly at first, but upon mention of his mother, his face quickly took on a pained expression as his hand instantly went to pat his sword down. He was brought out of this melancholy by Eve's response, and while he was glad that she didn't mind him going with, the barely veiled threat did cause him to sweat a tad. He had little trouble believing that she was right in her assumption, given what he'd gathered from his fight with bloodstone, and while he was a trained warrior(something Eve was obviously not) that still told him that Gem base abilities are greater than humans, so it was best not to get to involved with them in a combat setting. As Eve continued to speak, Reggie listened, curious about this other gem she mentioned. He considered that it might be the seemingly unstable one from before, but Eve was sure to strictly assure him that was not the case, as well as make the creepiest smile he had ever seen. She continued talking for a bit, including some stuff about this mysterious 'Green Gem' teaching her stuff, but Reggie couldn't get the image of Eve smiling out of her mind. [i]I don't think I can call her Elf any more, those teeth make her to demonic-looking . . . guess i'll just go with Imp from now on. Evenkite, the little yellow imp that's tired of your bullshit. Pretty sure that'd be the best kid's book ever, and probably the most controversial if I ended it with that face traumatizing millions of kids the world over.[/i] As they got closer to the Kindergarten place, which name suggested something a lot less bleak and depressing than the place he was looking at([i]Why do the space aliens name their birthing ground using a german phrase, is that just the closest translation, or did they just think that it sounded cool . . . hell when these fuckers showed up I don't think German was even a language yet.[/i]),Eve started to talk a bit more, introducing herself, but withholding the names of her friends. Reggie was starting to get the feeling that this girl(?) had a few trust issues, though if what she said was anything to go by, their was nothing around to facilitate such things. Was she just naturally that way, or was that part of her design. A question for another time, as Reggie, was alerted to the fact that they had company by Eve's harsh whisper. Looking at what she was looking at, he made out the figures of Bloodstone and two other people, most likely gems. One was wearing armor and looked to be on BS's side(internal child giggles a little before being slapped by reason), the other was obviously another one of the newer gems. Squatting down behind a nearby rock, Reggie was getting ready to grab Eve and bolt, consequences be damned, only for the Gem to whisper a line straight from a summer movie trailer, than seemed to cause a [b][i]huge fucking boulder to fucking float in the air.[/i][/b] It stayed like that for a few seconds before falling to the ground with a resounding thud. After that, Eve came out from hiding and tried to play the innocent game or something, but that seemed to only cause the new gem to feel suspicious of everyone. Inside his head, reggie was cursing Eve's reckless move with every word imaginable, before taking a deep breath and thinking of his options. [i]I can stay here like a good human for a 50/50 chance of staying out of this, RUn like hell away for a 100% chance of staying out of it, or do the dumb movie thing . . . Goddammit, I've made fun of so many movies for having characters who did what I'm about to do. Such a fucking hypocrite.[/i] After taking a second to steel his nerves, then taking five more to call himself an stupid fucking idiot in every way imaginable, he got up and walked out into the open. He said nothing to Blood, or to the girl with him, or to Eve, but instead went over to the newborn gem, a smile on his face as he kept a respectable distance from her, not wanting to overwhelm her. "Hello, and happy birthday I guess haha . . . you don't know what that is do you? Of course not, you were only just born, so lets take things slow. First introductions are in order, my name's Reggie, guy over there is Bloodstone, and he's a bit of a dick." Reggie still hadn't gotten over the home world gems insult of his skills and thus, couldn't resist the jab. "I don't know who the person with him is, and I would tell you this one's name, but I'm not sure if that's particularly smart, so we'll just call her Imp for now." Reggie made a gesture to each person he was talking about before making a finally gesture to the newborn. "Now then, do you know you're name and would you like to introduce yourself? You don't half to if you don't want to, or can't, but then I'll have to come up with a nickname for you, and you probably won't like it, as I'm terrible at it, just ask Imp."
