Gavin jerked his head up in surprise, staring at the belligerent young woman in front of him. His eyebrows funneled into an confused line. "It was an accident. I don't see why you have to make such a big deal of it. Did I break a bone or something?"His agitation reflected almost unconsciously on his wrist, the metal pooling into a single piece and slithering down into his hand, where it formed itself into an intricate knife. He held it loosely, letting it relax him somewhat as he looked up at her. "Although, if you really want to consider it a problem, I wanted to get a seat on the train. I don't particularly enjoy standing in crowds, so I got here as fast as I could. That's it." He frowned. "Hang on, I feel like I recognize you from somewhere. Have we met?" His thoughts instantly jumped back to what he was doing before and he sighed."See, I was chasing this boy. I wanted to see why he was running, y'know? But he got on the Sabore train, so I never did get to talk to him. What about you? You talk to a blonde kid with blue eyes and a bandana around his face?"

Sylvia heard the sharp, distinct sound of metal hitting metal among the noise of the train and began to look about.

"No, I never spoke to the blonde boy. I know nothing of him. I was hoping you would shed some light on the subject, seeing as you were the one chasing him. Tell me, [i] boy, [/i] why exactly were you chasing him. Were you attacking him? What do you know?"

She traced the sound to the knife newly formed in Gavin's hand. Instinctively she reached into her pocket as if to take hold of a weapon of her own. Sylvia had learned over the course of her life that even if she didn't have a weapon, he couldn't know that and would be more cautious as a result.

"I don't particularly enjoy it when someone pulls a knife on me. I'm sure you feel the same way. Now I advise you to put the knife away and answer my question."
