Malcolm's mock anticipation was met by an audience unprepared for his barrage of sarcasm, it only made the troll wiggle his toe-claws a bit to make sure there was nothing squishy in between them.

[b]"I thought I got to be the grumpy one."[/b] Hunts replied, putting back on the tough exterior and wiping any remnants of worry clean off his face. Though when he did look at Malcolm a second time, it was hard not to notice how rough a night he had. The cold sniffing, the panda eyes and the bloodshot scelera that framed his shrunken green irises ...all signs of insomnia or something worse.

[b]"Mmaaaaaaaybe you should let Angela handle the new guy and you -get- some rest,"[/b] Hunts lumbered over to the small netted bags that laid by the stairs, looking at them and thinking for a moment. [b]"I'm just sayin', if you greet the new guy like that - you'll probably scare him off."[/b]

[b]"I can handle the nizzies meanwhile."[/b] The troll did not hesitate in showing his enthusiasm and he began rolling the nets neatly in a coil around his thumb like he had seen the ranger do on a few occassions, albeit on her forearm.
