She found the source of the voice--a boy around her age, apparently another of Tumble's chosen judging by his very loud answers to the same sort of questions she'd just suffered through herself. Reina couldn't help but eye the boy in disbelief as he pushed through the crowd. Was he the norm for Tumble's recruits? She could only hope not, or she'd be dealing with constant headaches, along with feeling even more out of place. Not fully paying attention due to her thoughts, Reina lightly bumped into someone. She opened her mouth to apologize, stopping when she noticed the person was a younger boy, and very likely another recruit, judging by his apparent age and the way he was carrying himself. [color=00aeef]“Gotta hate these vultures don’t ya? They’ll pick you to pieces if they think you’re easy prey. Easier to throw them a bone to fight over and then run like hell while they’re occupied,"[/color] he said to her. Reina paused for a moment, realizing he was talking about the reporters. [i]Vultures.[/i] That was a nicer way of putting it than what she had in mind, and it elicited a faint but genuine smile from her. She nodded in agreement, throwing a glance over her shoulder at the crowd and the flashing cameras. [color=00aeef]"I’m Tommy, nice to meet you. If you don’t mind, I’ll save the handshaking for inside,”[/color] he said. She looked back to him as they continued towards the building. She was impressed with how easily social he seemed to be, dealing with the crowd without any visible discomfort. It was a personality trait she often wished she had a bit of, especially in this moment. [color=b16edd]"Reina,"[/color] she replied, eyeing the other apparent recruits that had found themselves gathering at the front of the hero agency. An interesting bunch, that was certain. While there was no shaking the feeling of not belonging quite yet, no one really seemed to 'belong.' Reina wasn't sure how she felt about that--but at the very least, Tommy seemed easy enough to be around. [color=b16edd]"I'm not big on shaking hands,"[/color] she added with another half-smile.
