Hey now, he's becoming self-aware. Don't take that from him.

If the man's is asking for a ban, might as well give it to him. Good riddance.

Then you'd just be crying about why it's permanent instead.

Oh no, oh no. Someone warn his "roommate" Smarty's about to lose it.

It didn’t take more than a quarter hour for him to clean his equipment off as best as possible in the current circumstances. Alexander sighed and shivered as he quickly donned the plate, the remaining slime cloy and icky. As he did so, he scanned his surroundings and almost missed Senna. His gaze actually slipped right over her a few times before he began to actively scan for her presence. “Huh,” he muttered, impressed at her skills in stealth, as he secured his equipment and glanced down at the slime soaked rags at his feet.
Kneeling, he fished out one of the pieces of wood that could function as a torch and wrapped one of the slime-soaked rags around the end. He had no idea if the gelatinous mass would ignite, but a little experimentation couldn’t hurt and it would be a nice way to save on supplies. Besides it was of a similar consistency to the solidified oil he occasionally got for the lanterns. Before he could put the brain spark to use though, the sound of approaching footsteps had Alexander on his feet and ready to defend himself.
An unnecessary action as two humans, probably Guild Members like himself, came into sight. The man was without a doubt one of the oldest Members he had seen from any guild and had to be over their mid 30s if his guess wasn't off. His companion struck a rather stark contrast in both appearance and demeanor. Where the man seemed straight forward and gruff, the young girl hung to his back and seemed almost afraid to do anything. Her attire didn't really help the impression that she was a sheltered Member with no idea what she was in for.
Their attention seemed to be solely focused on him for the moment and it didn’t seem like Senna had been seen just yet. “With some assistance, but yes.” If she wanted to, Alexander was sure Senna was capable of introducing herself. He knelt back down and fished a flint and striking steel from his belt pouch, keeping an eye on the two, before he sparked the soaked rag.

He felt the tip slide through the creature’s body smoothly and shudder slightly as it carved cleanly through slime’s core. Dead but still in motion, Alexander grimaced as he felt the gelatinous mass crash against his chest plate, splattering in every direction. He was probably lucky that any harmful properties, if there were even any, seemed to have been rendered inert after the creature’s death. Unfortunately the stickiness was still the same and he could feel it cling to him.
“Ugh…” He could just imagine how hard it would be to move when the slime dried up and gummed up his armor; his gauntlets were already locking up. Reluctantly he began to take off his armor that had been covered in the goo, leaving him with the mostly clean layer beneath. “Going to take a bit of time for me to clean this off,” he told Senna as he set the pieces down on the floor around him and pulled up a rag to wipe what slime he couldn’t get off with just his hands. There didn't seem to be any real reason to rush headfirst into danger, so hopefully she wouldn't have any issues with waiting.

Hawawa is appropriate I suppose.
Oh well, post tonight.

Well this is damn disappointing.
"Oh! Nice shot," Alexander called out as he watched her projectile rip through the monster's body, punching a hole in its core as well. As he had suspected, the damage done to that center piece caused it to disintegrate and the slime's body simply melted into an inanimate puddle afterwards. His eyes naturally went to the remaining monster and widened slightly as it tensed and then propelled itself airborne towards Senna.
While his initial thought had been to shield bash the creatures in hopes the blunt force would disrupt their gelatinous bodies, upon seeing Senna's success Alexander figured a stab would work just as well. He stepped in front of the archer and gave her a slight nudge backwards before he gripped the weapon with both hands; one half-way up the blade to guide his attack true. There was only a moment to brace himself as the blob slammed into him, but using both the monster's own momentum and his strength Alexander stabbed upwards at the creature's core. His shield, held onto his arm by straps, was angled in such a manner that it served as cover for his face against the unknown liquid that composed the creature.

Damn son.
While normally Alexander would have been more open to conversation, the cave walls seemed to carry his footsteps well enough. Without any real idea what sort of creatures might have lurked in the darkness ahead there wasn’t a need to add his voice into the mix as well he supposed. Thus, the party advanced in relative silence for quite some time before something broke the peaceful, if tense, walk.
To his irritation, he didn’t hear a damn thing until the creature’s body was already falling through the air and pushing it aside. With wet splotches, the pair of blobs hit the ground ahead of them and his eyes narrowed. The Goblins were easier to take in, given they still had a humanoid form in the end, but these creatures were damn strange. Beyond that, they seemed rather problematic to deal with. His best guess, and hope, was that the object that floated in their bodies served as a some sort of organ to maintain the creature. The problem then was the material that made up their bodies. It looked rather thick and easy to get his weapon imbedded in if the creature’s proved to be hardier than expected.
“Back!” He ordered as he began to back away from the pair of monsters. “Senna, shoot one of them please.” From what he’d seen her arrows had splendid penetration, so it’d serve as a sort of benchmark.

The waters were calm and the ferry cut through the water smoothly towards the Jizakai harbor. Koga stood at the front of the ship to take in the city’s skyline with a quiet sigh. He didn’t feel any agitation or unease, but then again he was still surrounded by rather pristine waters. The sensations carried on the sea breeze were certainly relaxing, so it would be sometime until he could ascertain the city’s effect on him. For the moment he simply closed his eyes and enjoyed the ship’s motion as it sailed over the gentle waters. Being bothered was not a concern for him; between his large stature and odd appearance the other ferry goers naturally gave him his personal space.
It would be a while until the ferry reached the docks, though Koga was well aware of the ship’s approach as his nose picked up on the scents of a modern city. It was intermixed with the scents of the surrounding countryside as to be bearable and he was relieved at that. The smell of the air served as an indicator for how well his inhuman side would be able to tolerate the city, and for the moment it didn’t seem like he’d have any major problems. The occasional visit to the surrounding untouched plains should be enough to settle his blood and spirit. With that done he finally spun about and walked away from the front of the ship to retrieve his belongings as crew members began to bring the ship alongside.
As the passengers were wary of Koga and his actions during the trip hadn’t exactly been “normal”, he had the gangway to himself. Probably a good thing given he lugged a sizable pack with one hand while his travel cloak trailed somewhat behind in the soft wind that rolled off the water. A slight shiver took hold of his body as he felt the concentration of Lacrimas around him, but Koga simply took it in stride and quickly left the dockyards. His cloak was untied, folded, and placed into his pack as he entered the city to reveal unassuming clothes beneath.
The existence of a Neutral Zone wasn’t unknown to Koga as he recalled the piece of information from the days when he still held allegiance. Course, he was fairly confident that the Zone’s rules didn’t apply to such a “specimen” like himself. Even if they did, being in the proximity of so many other Magi would almost certainly end with his condition being revealed, and then paltry rules wouldn’t be able to save him. Still… the gathering of Magi would be a mine of information and allow easy tracking of a good number of those who had been attracted by the Reality Convergence. With that in mind, he didn’t want to completely distance himself from the area then. Now if only he knew where the Neutral Zone for this Convergence even was in the first place… Guess he would just have to keep an eye out for people that stood out and tail them; some Magi didn’t get that fashion senses had changed quite some time ago.

“Nice to meet ya then Senna, and thanks.” He spared a glance at the corpse by his feet as she examined her own kills, but quickly came to the conclusion that there was little of value to be looted. Disappointing yet expected since the fight had been rather easy so it would have been strange to discover anything worthwhile.
Alexander looked back as Amanda introduced herself as well, though her family name was lost of him. “Hermes huh…” Her blessing didn’t have an immediate use then, but she was welcome nonetheless as simply another fighter. “Alexander,” he repeated for her sake before he nodded towards the depths of the Labyrinth, “let’s keep on going then. Stay behind me and make sure anything that slips past can’t reach Senna ok?”
If she had anything to say in regards that “order”, well Amanda would have to catch up to him to voice them. Senna seemed like she’d be easy enough to work and co-operate with given how she’d handled herself in that brief fight. Amanda… he’d have to wait until the next battle to get an opinion, but he was hopeful at the moment. With shield raised and sword resting on his pauldron, Alexander slowly crept deeper into the darkness.
