"Well, it's nice to meet you, then," he replied. "Neasa, huh? Interesting name," he added. Did she really come here to try to find her brother? Not that it wasn't a noble cause, but it seemed like an awfully risky thing to do, even considering the circumstances. She must have really cared for him. Scott brought his hand up to his chin and rubbed his stubble. "Are you still looking for him? I may be of some help, if you're alright with that."

Scott gave her prior question some thought. He figured he had already assessed the risks and accepted them when he made his decision to enter the zone, but on the point of taking risks Scott realized something. This woman wasn't wearing a gas mask either, even before she saw him not wearing one. He had an excuse; he knew this house was mostly clear of any ambient contaminants, but how would she have known if she just got here? He cocked an eyebrow. Hypocrite. "Why aren't you wearing a mask? You only just came in here, how would you know it's safe?" he asked, knowingly, rhetorically, and matter-of-factly, flashing a sly smile.

Scott allowed himself to relax a little when the woman lowered her gun. He decided to let himself fall back onto the couch and relax. He doubted there was much of a point in her letting him live now only to stab him in the back later. He sat down and propped one leg on top of the other. He chuckled a little bit at her statement about him not being in the zone long. "I've been here a couple months, give or take. I honestly just don't think it's worth being worried about what could happen in my sleep. What are the odds of being stabbed in the neck in my sleep, out here, basically isolated, versus a trading post with very not-private bedrooms that pretty much anyone could walk into? Just my two cents."

He allowed himself to get comfortable on the ratty looking sofa. The cushions were covered by a relatively clean sheet that Scott had found earlier, but underneath it one could tell it was pretty old and worn down. "Make yourself at home, take a load off. Name's Scott, by the way. Lot of people call me Joker though, when they're not busy calling me an asshole, that is. What's your story?"

You could get a gun. 9mm of pain to the chest tends to be pretty effective.

@Eru Iluvatar I'm sorry you felt it necessary to kill off your own character, but that being said I'm glad you're happy with the outcome. Good luck in your future endeavors. o7

@SilverFallen Relieved, Scott let out a barely noticeable sigh and took a couple of steps away from his gear to appear less threatening. He had a good feeling about this person. That feeling got better when he... she, evidently, seemed taken aback and stammered out her first question.

"Well, yes I did," he replied. He had taken his mask off before taking his nap as well, so any solace that could be found in anonymity was pretty much gone. Still, the way he saw it, the air in this part of The Zone was fairly clean, and his geiger counter wasn't going off more than usual, so he figured why not?

"Well, what I was doing should be fairly obvious. As for why here, there was a couch," he said, gesturing to the sofa he had been laying down in a moment before. "And who I am is a man who is just trying to live and let live... mostly. I'm also not a threat to you as long as you're not a threat to me, alright? Let's just be cool." he said, still retaining his calm.

"What about you? Can I interrogate you now?" he said, jokingly.
