The sounds of suffering and death in his ears, the smell of smoke and fire in his nostrils, and a relatively new magazine in his hands, Rei was firmly disinterested in the entire commotion that was currently unfolding, much despite the clear joy it was bringing his surrounding kin. Instead he stood off far to the left side behind an undisturbed corner, pale green eyes narrowed as he stared down at the magazine held carefully between his hands in front of him. He did not bother to raise his head to even speak or grant anyone else around him any form of acknowledgement, while it might seem rude to the outside eye, anyone who had been around him for more than a few weeks knew well enough that he was listening- even when at a distance. Not that there were many around his current spot anyhow. Just choosing not to join in or participate in the enjoyment of whatever was going on. And in this case, he was choosing to not join in on the slaughter! For a good reason, at least in his opinion, excluding the fact he had already eaten earlier. He could see blood and dying humans any time but who knows when he could be so lucky as to find a new magazine featuring decorated cakes?

After just a few moments of standing, Rei dropped down into a crouch, his jacket bunching up around his hips as he did so. The magazine in his hands hardly even having moved from the motion and the ghouls eyes did not even blink. On the current page he was on, three, was a very interesting looking cake. Four different tiers of four entirely different flavors, each one colored differently with some kind of odd design on it. Though as he flipped to the next page, his disinterested face finally cracked as a very faint smirk formed on his lips. Now, this page was already his favorite. The entire two pages were his favorite. While not overly fond of cute things, there was something oddly charming about small bunnies made of gum paste and royal icing. 

He would never be able to eat such a thing, of course. But it never hurt to look. Sighing silently to himself, Rei quickly flips to the next page and then the next. He quickly found himself disappointed though, especially as he flipped through the rest of the pages. Nothing but some stupid sports designs and weird retro-themed wedding cakes. Who the hell had time for weddings these days anyway? Without another thought on the matter, Rei quickly re-opened the page with the cute-but-inedible bunnies on them and with a well practiced hand ripped both of the pages out and promptly tossed the left over magazine back into a small pile of trash he had found it in. After spending another moment or so carefully folding up the two pages he had collected and sliding them into his jacket pocket, Rei quickly pushed himself up and stuffed his hands into his pocket before making a b-line from between the buildings back to the street. It seems his timing was nearly perfect, having just arrived just in time to catch Cj beginning with [color=f49ac2][i]'If a ghoul'[/i][/color]. 

Unable to stop himself, he quickly spoke up before Sage nor Huey could manage to get a word in. 

[color=0054a6]"As true as that all might be, doing too much at once could be a horrendous idea. Especially considering it wont take them all that long to figure things out, I'd be willing to bet on it. Though while we are on the topic, I am quite sure I spotted a straggler making their way in with the group. Smelled a bit off, I don't think they are a real threat or anything, just the [i]'hungry and lost'[/i] sort."[/color] Rei didn't look towards any of them, instead his gaze was straight forward, his nose crinkled as he sniffed the air. A brow quirked slightly and a corner of his mouth lifted a bit. He might have had more to say, but whatever it was clearly died before it could be brought out, his attention already having shifted towards the building. [/center]
