Whitney spent the time waiting to come up with sarcastic pet names for all of his group members should the need arise to use them. When he noticed the others getting up he too stood, shoving his hands further into his pockets.

"Everyone ready to look at some super interesting rocks?" Whitney was one to appreciate sarcasm, but made no comment or even change in expression, but it's not like anyone was paying too much attention. Except Terraline. She appears to be paying lots of attention, and Whitney had to admit she was probably a lot better at it then he was. Whitney then noticed Alvira's attempts at lightening the mood, which was fine as long as she didn't bother him. He looked at his other group members, and they all seem just as crabby and disinterested as him, except Saxon (who Whitney hopes won't try and pull anything on him, but someone is certainly going to suffer as he seems like he's thinking of a plan) and David (Whitney didn't even want to think about David). He also noticed Sam's absence, but figured he'd show up late eventually.

"Before we begin, I would like to say that I think we all don't really want to put up with each other, so I think we should all agree to not speak to each other unless it's important or a way of getting away from this boring Hell were about to enter, agreed?" Whitney said, which was less of a question and more of a command.
