Leone didn't shrink under the brute's glare, he didn't step back, he didn't overreact. He held his ground and looked Big Red dead in the eyes, returning the demon's predatory grin with a well humored one of his own as he came up from his bow with a shrug. [color=FFD700]"Well I didn't ask to be here so I must've been doing something right to be called up, eh?"[/color], he mouthed off, well aware it might provoke the famously temperamental bruiser. Not that he much cared, about hierarchy, risk to himself or even his family history. He was who he was, he was strong and he'd get stronger, he was gonna make it to the top. That'd never change.

Perhaps fortunately for Leone's future, Big Red appeared to have more important things to deal with that also involved violence and so he left the group to socialize while he took care of it. Well this was a crummy first day on the job, awful management. He'd even consider lodging a complaint, if he were the type to do those things and if this were an actual job. He took stock of his would be companions: a giant multicolored walking pigeon, some rotting goat guy that looked like he'd fold like wet paper, the umpteenth shadowy guy he'd met and the "lovely lady" that was probably some kind of warty hag that'd make his dick fall off.

What the hell, it was as if he'd never stopped running with the gangs and the mobsters back home. At least down here you knew what everyone was, crap most were pretty goddamn open about who they were and what they did. He could deal. [color=FFD700]"Well..."[/color], he started then stopped, interrupted by a shrill scream of agony coming from inside. He sighed, rolled his eyes and gave it another go. [color=FFD700]"Guess we're stuck together and I dunno about you but I'm not gonna just wait here while he has his fun. Anyone wanna go for some coffee?"[/color], he shrugged again and flashed his best killer smile at the group, giving an ample wave at a pick of coffee shops and even one odd traveling cart making his rounds at hand. [color=FFD700]"Been a long and busy night, I sure could go for some coffee before work"[/color].
