Nine in total, eight others beside him. His quick look around told him he was probably one of the older individuals here, with the majority being young adults… if barely. He only recognized Yuno, who was beelining for the castle at the moment, which was a relief in itself. Considering they were right next to each other when this had happened, it didn’t seem too odd that she had ended up here. If everyone else had been someone he recognized as well though? That would have just been too odd. Not that the situation in itself wasn’t odd enough… Sighing, he cut himself off before his thoughts could run wild and refocused. 

He raised a hand and nodded towards the brunette as a reply to her greeting, but what was supposed to be a pleasant expression darkened quickly. Turning away from the girl, he hadn’t meant to direct it towards her after all, he found himself looking at the castle that was supposed to be his destination. Call it an instinct, but he had a distinct feeling of being watched. Logically he knew there was no way for him to notice anything at such a distance, but he scanned the walls nonetheless. A flicker caught his attention, and though Adam knew he had seen the gleam of light the moment he had blinked it’d disappeared. [b]“Tch.”[/b] Displeased, he schooled his expression before turning back to the group. 

Ignoring the little spectacle with the three on the ground, he let his eyes pass the group by before settling on another individual. She was young, probably one of the younger, but he didn’t judge her solely on that. If he were to comment on his impression, he’d probably liken her to an officer cadet. Not quite there yet, but nonetheless deserving of respect. Not that any of that bled through when all he did was give a shrug that said, “Basically," as an answer to her question. He would have turned for the castle at that moment, wanting to figure out what this was all about and settle the uneasiness that had seeped in after his little observation, but he didn’t. Instead, he walked up to the orange haired young lady; just calling her girl didn’t seem appropriate. [b]"Can I take a look?”[/b] With hands in his pocket, a cool tone as he asked, it wouldn’t be hard to see Adam as being indifferent. He did care though and hoped it was nothing more serious than a bruise. Anything else would most likely have her resting the arm for a few days.
