"Lets just say for the moment that I've been far away from home for quite some time," Travis chuckled in reply towards Yuno's observational gesture, "That and these past few weeks have been rather...Eventful."

While it didn't seem all that visually apparent, Travis could not help but catch Yuno's eyes inspecting his appearance. Honestly however, he could not blame her from being skeptical of his choice of attire. As to what he had hinted towards, his time in Villa Nueva had demanded if not forced him into blending in with the crowds in culture. That and the unfortunate case of misplacing his lugging carrying his outfits and spare clothing but it was that instance he blamed on the ground crews once his flight arrived in Mexico. 

"I firmly agree on both accounts; the scenery is definitely pleasant to return back to. Though I must say, I did not quite expect our illustrious friend to have such a fine place, especially in our own back yard."

Taking up his carrying chest along with him, Travis followed Yuno further into the mansion to what appeared to be nice lounge right nest to the kitchen. It seemed Yuno was enjoying a late snack before his own arrival. Travis contemplated having a small something to pass the time but decided against it for the moment in favor of transferring himself to the couch opposite of where Yuno sat. Once she had mentioned her own concern toward he studies in regards to her role in all of this, Travis suspected she was still fulfilling her role as student. While technically he was in the same boat, his academic aspect gave him plenty to study up on outside the secretive confines of the Academia. 

Gently placing his unusual cargo beside him, he responded to Yuno's analytical comment, "Regrettably, my personal expedition to the Mesoamericas has been more trouble than I imagined. As a Scholar, I must admit, I had not anticipated to run into as many hazards as I had 'fortunately' stumbled across." 

"But what I do find promising is Felix's wealth of knowledge concerning the Paragons - have you ever seen the word in your studies before? Personally, I find these Paragons far more fascinating and worth my productive time studying than debating the existence of Aztec gods. But most of all though, have you any reason to doubt him? All of our names and near-exact locations were on his parchment; I put quite a bit of effort of not being found and yet he located me easily...Especially during a somewhat, [i]awkward[/i], moment..."

Travis tweaked a section of his hair, rubbing his finger against his threads before examining the tips his digits. Sure enough, he found a faint trace of soot had glued to him. With a frown, he flicked his fingers against each other in hopes of doing away with the cooked debris.
