"But you're already speaking with me," The blue clad warrior mocked subtly, turning around moments after, "And you're being awfully rude about it, already. I just asked this woman if I could read through her book. Nothing more, a simple request, and the easiest route for everyone involved, I assure you." The man seemed awfully polite, disregarding Ren's unsavory insults. Laura's reaction may have been a little dramatic for what had actually happened here.

	"You're the rude one for pushing your way to the front of the line, asshole!" Ralph shouted from the back of the line. The newcomer looked over at him and frowned, although it was barely visible behind his face-hugging mask. The blue glimmer in his eyes flickered as he looked back at Ren, as if he was unsure on how to proceed.

	"Yea," Laura grunted, "You can't just push your way to the front like that- Ren, could you please take him away?"

	"Hold on," the newcomer interjected, "I'm afraid I'm a hurry here, lady. I just want to look through you book, it will only take a few minutes..."

	"Wait like the rest of us!" A crowd-member yelled. The armored man turned his sights back on ren and began rubbing the bridge of his nose irritably.

	"I'm not leaving, but if you'd all just let me do as I'd like, there won't be any conflict here," he assured Ren, turning his back to the boy and glaring at Laura. "Just a quick peek, I promise." Laura looked at him with and contempt, and then looked to Ren for further assistance.
