[center][h1] The Professor [/h1][/center]

At first, he hadn't even noticed Victor following after, but when addressed, the Professor had come to a stop, his gaze quickly sliding towards the male. He thought about the coup statement, before the softest sigh left him. Now he had a stronger feeling why he'd looked at Victor. Something about him was familiar beyond the whole famous bit. Something in his bloodline. He couldn't put his finger on it, however. [i]"More than likely. It takes a war or worse to cancel a tournament this big. Judging by the commotion, people are going to make the most of it. For better or worse."[/i] He wouldn't admit it readily, but the thought of exploring the tournament grounds, or breaking into a secure area in search of answers, had occurred to him. As for the commotion being caused by the...decidedly not human being approaching the others, he shook his head. [i]"We should avoid that. Or I should at least, I'd rather not draw attention. Probably an old flame or two are around, or their descendants. Latter would be easier to talk to, former, not so much.[/i] Granted, most of the women he'd been with over the years were dead, but the immortals...well, that was a concern for later. He hadn't even seriously considered the possibility that Victor might take his words about past romances in a way that...wouldn't be so normal. Still, he was a tad worried about the metal warrior...

By the time she'd reached the site of everything, the android had run out of anger steam. She just stood there, staring at the crowd, at the fleeing speaker, at the kid talking to her, at the other making a scene, at all the others. She looked for the moment, uncertain. Eyes cast around, looking for something to do. Running out into the open like this had its risks, now that she stopped to think about it. But then again...she was sure that no one here would go right after her. She froze in place though, seeing the crowd start to get riled, the thought of beating up people growing stronger in her mind. She wasn't sure what to do though.

And somewhere, multiple Rockroids facepalmed at this situation. Or laughed in dry amusement. This was a quality show.
