[color=steelblue][i]”Well, I dunno about him, but my teeth fall out every couple o’ weeks. See?”[/i][/color]

Rowan, intrigued by the conversation taking place, turned to witness the shark Faunus reach into her mouth and rip out a tooth. What followed was a mouthful of blood, and the look of pure satisfaction on the Faunus’ face. He chuckled at the sight of the girl. He wasn’t too sure whether he was supposed to be impressed or disturbed, so he went with impressed. She must be tougher than James "Jack-ass" Ironwood to mutilate her own body like that. 

The commotion from the newest arrival’s entrance settled as he became fascinated with the antlers of one of the Faunus. Rowan, unlike most of the wealthy in Atlas, never discriminated against the Faunus. Growing up, most of the staff in his house were Faunus. They were always kind to him, no matter the circumstances. In fact, until he went to combat school, many of the staff were his only source of social interaction. Friendships blossomed between him and the staff. His parents didn't approve, but they didn't stop it, either.

Rowan noticed the tall, dark-haired man break away from the group of students. He approached Rowan, taking note of his gloves.

[color=9e0039][i]”Please do tell me that that isn't your only weapon, sir, or you’re going to embarrass whatever you throw your first punch at.”[/i][/color] The boy trailed off, mumbling something about Rowan’s height. Rowan was about to respond, but the man in front of him quickly regained his composure.

[color=9e0039][i]”My apologies for that. I forget myself and my stature sometimes… the name’s Vladimir Plasimov-Drakka. Vlad for short. And yourself?”[/i][/color]

“I’m Rowan. Rowan Dmitri Valinn, if you want to get formal. I can’t even count how many times people have commented on my rather... lacking weapon," Rowan gave Vlad a quizzical look, "But what I don’t understand is why so many other Huntsmen feel the need to have such extravagant weapons. Are they compensating for something? Because let me tell you, I definitely don’t need to compensate for anything. I’ve got all I need, right here,” He said as he flexed his arms. While he was an ant compared to the giant standing before him, Rowan was well toned, and it showed.
