Despite the odd chain of interruptions, Ryusei didn't seem to really mind much of it, if at all. He wasn't exactly familiar with any feuds that the blacksmith had, but given the way that the Sister was acting...

Well, he could understand [i]why[/i] they weren't on the best of terms. Though he didn't necessarily agree with how Raza marketed her goods (and in his head, there were better people to market to), finding the occasional diamond in the rough in the midst of this mess made the trade-off worth it.

That was, at least, how he felt as the ifrit handed the pair of clawshots to him. The warnings were not lost upon his ears, of course, as he fitted both of them onto his arms. Being prone to breaking or overheating...

"Well, as far as downsides go for a few pieces of experimental gear, that's actually not that bad," he muttered, twisting his arms around to make sure that there wasn't anything that he hadn't noticed about them before nodding. "All right, that's workable for now."

Turning back towards the blacksmith, though, Ryusei glanced for a moment at the person she was addressing—or, more accurately, her equipment—before shrugging his shoulders. Despite the intent of him using his new tools for a test run, he didn't exactly see any harm in bringing more people along besides the two of them. There were plenty of people in here right now that could [i]probably[/i] tag along. It was times like these, of course, that [i]Elysium[/i]'s lack of hard levels showed its benefits.

There wasn't any reason [i]not[/i] to suggest they group up, really.

"So, uh..." he began, raising his voice slightly as he raised his arm in the air, "Weird, off-the-cuff question for everyone present: anyone else willing to join for Sacred Grove after you're done here?"

Well, he had to start [i]somewhere[/i], even if it was a bit... Awkward, to say the least.
