Jaiden couldn't help but chuckle at the older woman's awkward attempt to take back her perceived order, not to mention how she clearly didn't catch on to Jaiden's subtle mocking of her either. [i][color=Steelblue]Oh, she's going to be a fun one to mess with.[/color][/i] He thought as a mischievous grin spread across his face as he followed behind her, finally removing the helmet as he walked into the Lodge proper. Taking a look around, he couldn't help but give a low whistle as he eyed the new digs, before allowing his nose to lead him to the dinner table. Wasting no time finding a seat, he made with fully loading his plate with a rather sizable pile of food, only paying partial attention to what the quirky blonde girl was saying. When she got to talking about there being a hidden tunnel the lodge, and going inside it despite possible danger, Jaiden waited till he'd packed away a good portion of his meal before speaking up, allowing for a few of the others to get there words in.

[color=Steelblue]"I don't know about you guys, but I'm not really down to head into some dark, dingy tunnel right after that whole kerfuffle with the spaceship earlier. Especially if we've got no idea what's down there, not to mention that I don't trust the brat over there to behave by herself, concussion or not."[/color] As he spoke, Jaiden set to wrapping up a large amount of sizzling meat in a tortilla, opening his mouth wide before shoving the entire thing down, not even taking the time to chew it, and yet didn't choke once. Wiping his mouth of the last traces of the meal, he continued to give his opinion on the current situation. [color=Steelblue]"Nothing against the girl, but she's seems a bit too shifty for me to trust her alone with all of our stuff. Besides, whatever is down there can wait until tomorrow, so I say we leave it to be tomorrow's problem."[/color]

Having said his piece, Jaiden went back to his feasting, holding only the barest amount of table manners as he sought to quiet the insatiable rumbling deep within his core. Even after this gluttonous showing, he knew he'd probably have to hunt tonight in order to make sure that he'd be able to use his abilities without risking loss of control, which was the real reason he was against going down into possible danger. However, given how things had started between him and the group, he wasn't to eager to let them in on this tid-bit, especially the princess. Cute clothes and demeanor aside, she seemed quite likely and willing to cut someone down, much more so than Jaiden was comfortable with, if he was being honest.
