Izushima Ashari
The reactions to his little prank had proven a mixture of both interesting and boring. A trick that worked quite well on rookies which led to bouts of panic or hostility at first. This group, however, quickly showed the difference between rookies and expert and skilled hunters and with it came plenty of overconfidence that swelled along side their egos.
While a harmless prank, it was also a method to glimpse some things about this so-called rag-tag team by their reactions. None were amused nor impressed by his antics. As far as they knew he was simply a masked fox viewed likely the weakest of the group who seemed to little else than childish illusions. Exactly how the kitsune preferred it. Not like any in this group cared one iota about the other; those that couldn't suppress their human instincts typically tried to brag and impress the females. Humans and their constant need of procreation; a bunch of constantly horny beings which most other races found pathetic and sad, his opinion though was more on in-difference excluding whenever the humans became obnoxious or obsess with flirting and open sexual mannerisms. Save for when it actually causes trouble and drama for whatever group he was with making for some amusing chaos and from the looks of this group, chances of things getting heated would likely happen sooner than later.
He was there to give his aid to the best of his abilities as he was still a professional. Yet, doesn't mean he couldn't have his fun; considering in particular that everything about this job was fishy. Enough so that others of the group actually took notice of it which was both surprising and expected of experienced hunters. Still, people like successful hunters tended to consist of egotistical attention or power seekers to the point of often missing easy and obvious dangers or hints of a trap. Here the fox assumed no one else would pick up on it and while he could elaborate on it but seeing as he lacked any other clues or information at the moment and chose to remain silent lest he gave some unintentional misunderstanding (his bread and butter) though doing so with topics like these would more likely make him seem like an enemy or saboteur, as such one had to pick and choose what matters to infuse his bit of chaos into.
And as the introductions carried on, each member spoke of some of their capabilities while making sure not to reveal their entire arsenal. Ever the cautious and careful sort, hunters were and he was no different though his manner of doing so was probably due to a different kind of motivation.
By the time introductions was finished he had been given two nicknames already and looked down as a cheap entertainer. His head shifted, mask hiding the sly smirk worn beneath.
His eyes shifted between each of the individual he would be traveling with for some unknown amount of time. Taking in and studying their features along with the pitch and mannerism of their speech though his attention would soon be directed to the talking metal machine.
The device moved and spoke which was easily enough to get his attention and would be sure to properly inspect it at a later time.
For now, though was figuring out their next plan of actions, but first the robed fox slipped the pipe back within his sleeve then took a step in Nikolai's direction where he gave a small and quick polite bow." Apologies. Tis the habit of kitsunes." A playful titter following his apology." I will endeavor to articulate more clearly and loudly." He said while raising his voice only slightly higher than his previous whispery volume.
A clearing of the throat." And for what Mr. Godfrey has suggested, I approve though I also wish to add suggestions to make plans and gather supplies in preparations for tomorrow morning." Tilting his head, scratching at his head pondering momentarily before holding up his right hand with two clawed fingers raised." Perhaps do so in pairs? Might do well to get preparations done more quickly and... " Trailing off as building up bonds as he originally intended to say did not apply as none here wished or desired to be pals or friends save for the two sisters, but after thinking another moment piped up." Ensures none of the group is alone to be ambushed or attacked and the like." He said, finishing what he had to say then went back to being a quiet figure barely there.
