As he waited on the fallen pillar for the person who was supposed to join him, Rojin gave an annoyed sigh their inclusion increased the amount they needed to gather, but he wasn't about to shirk the task, he selected it for himself and he was gonna carry through with it come hell or high water. So as he waited he looked around from where he sat to see if there was any around that would be collectable, the good news was there was a bit there, the issue was it clearly wouldn't be enough for the mission now it would have been had he been alone, but well that was past so he simply waited for the other person to arrive... only to realize it wasn't one person... it was..


And then he heard the faintest of greetings and he looked over, well at least this person had the good sense to not... and then there was a loud voice and a.. meow? yes.. it was two people and as he got them in sight he looked at them, clear on which one meowed, they were dressed oddly, then again everyone had been lately including him so he couldn't really say much on that. "Yes I am looking for metal, now quiet down I am old not deaf.." he replied to the one woman with apparently cat ears, then he looked over to the other girl then gestured to her "You should be more like this one.. a bit more quite tone would do a world of good, what you want any wandering by monster to come on over cause of your loud voice?" he questions as he got up.

As he did so he reached for his forehead and after a moment he pulled out a golden glowing Parchment and tightened his grip around it, where it then seemed to burn away into nothing and the old man took a deep breath and straightened up "Come on... we have work to do, more so now that you lot showed up.. whatever this system thing is it seems to increase the needed metal needed to finish the mission once you two joined, so we got a lot to do" he grumbled as he started walking and picking up a few bits of scrap here and there as he did so "I already looked around their won't be enough in this place so once we get all the stuff here we are going to have to look farther now.." he informed them in a grouchy tone.

Rojin looked at the woman as she spoke to him well yelled at him was more like it, seemingly not taking kindly to what he said, not that he cared, though she was quickly quieted by the more sensible girl who then defended her apparent companion, he said nothing for the moment as he left and the girls split off to gather some of the scrap metal, he did as well though even with the distance he could hear one of the girls, easy guess was which one, due to the echoes and how loud they talked while it was quieter then before it was still loud, at least for a bit as they eventually got far enough away, or she actually spoke quieter, ether way he didn't care he was just glad he could relax a bit in the silence "Finally some peace and ... God damn it..." he grumbled as their damn heels... that sharp clicking was echoing in the ruins and the builds and he could hear in faintly in the quite that fell in the area.

Grumbling as he worked since he could track were the girls were by the sound of their heels he just gathered the fallen scrap metal, checking the progress now and again and seeing the bar fill up, and as the clicking got closer he looked to the mission info once more and could see his earlier estimate was right they would need to go further in, and when they met up the loud girl agreed with what he said before and he sighed and looked at her "I didn't say those words lightly, I said them because I Was well aware we would need to..." he then started to lead the way but spoke to them without looking back.

"As for remaining polite... I will do no such thing if I don't feel like being polite, would you rather a fake smile and false words of kindness? Or would you rather bluntness and honesty? Personally I prefer bluntness and honesty so I treat you as such, I told her I expected her to have a quieter tone much like yours, and I gave a more then good reason to do so, I doubt ether of you want to attract monsters to our location... two young women and an old man? I am sure any monster that shows up would be shaking in it's boots to scared to confront us.. is what a fool would think.. but what did she do with my comment? She starts to yell at the top of her lungs instead of heeding the advice and warning, Possibly endangering herself, you and me as well in her petty attempt to win in what she thought was some argument when it was someone telling her to be quieter for not just personal reasons but safety.. as for you, when your.. friend? Acquaintance? Lover? whatever she is to you and you to her, you shouldn't try to cover up for her or apologize for her, you should be reprimanding her Especially when she is doing something wrong" he spoke as he walked picking up a bit of metal as he did so.

"If she doesn't want to be polite to me because of how I am acting then let her be impolite.. I would rather the honesty then her putting up a fake front" he looked over his shoulder at the two "BUT.. I will not have her screaming her head off once again and possibly bring danger to the whole group nor will I accept her slacking off just because she doesn't like some old man, we are here to do a job and we are going to do it to the best of our capabilities, I did not choose to be in a group with you two, and you two didn't choose to be in a group with me, If you don't like that, that's fine.. but don't go trying to pretend like you have no issue with me, in a place like this a fake smile can just as easily hide a knife behind it rather then a helping hand... so I would rather people be Feckking honest with me rather then putting on a fake front and acting like we can all get along great together if they hate my guts got it? as for you young lady.." he said to the quieter one.

"Don't know much about you other then you covered for her and asked me to be more kind, well not gonna happen till I know ya better, we are not in the world we knew before, but even back then respect is earned, and YES I am aware that is a two way street, that's why I don't Expect nor demand respect from Her or you, but I do expect nether of you want to bring us into any pointless danger we could avoid if we talk quietly.. or not at all.. your tone? that's fine.. it's why I am talking at the same quite tone.. hers? she needs to bring it down if she still wants to talk.. Just cause the place is considered safe, doesn't mean that it is totally safe... you need to yell? save it for an emergency.." he picked up another chunk of metal and put it in his inventory, it was a rather handy thing to have "As for the pleasantries.. if that was the case then an introduction would and should have been the first things to do rather then just asking someone why they where here... least get that much straight Cat Ears... and yes I will keep calling you that, least till I get a name to use proper so you want me to change it then give me a name to say.." he said as he continued walking along with the aid of his cane.

The quite one? she only replied with a simple quite response, okay Rojin nodded to her, at least she was listening and not being overly loud or trying to argue a point when there was no point to argue, the other one though, she immediately bounded on ahead, That wasn't so much the issue since he wanted the job to be done faster, the issue was she was till talking loudly and Rojin looked over to Sylvia "if you have to put up with this all the time then you have my sympathies.. you at least seem to have a head on your shoulders, or at the very least your keeping quite unlike her.." he continued on grabbing some more metal and adding it to his inventory.

As the loud girl asked her question he simply shook his head and reached up to his forehead and after a moment a glowing golden parchment was pulled out of his head, and as he clenched his fist around it it started to burn up, and the old man took a deep breath and stood up straighter, and seemed to be slightly less agitated for the moment despite the felines attempts to get him more angry. Rather then answer her he looked at her a moment and the look on his face was one of non-recognition, as if he didn't recognize her at all, and rather then say anything to her he simply looked around and started to collect scrap metal again.

As he did so and the completion bar filled the strange girl shouted out about something large and metal and looking over he raised his hand, and flicked at it, a sudden hole appearing in the wall under where the cat maid was standing and then an equal sized hole appearing in the base of the display making it teeter a moment before Rojin Flicked once more and the same process happened another hole appeared in the wall under The cat maid and then another, and another, each one was matched by a hole forming on the base of the display till it finally all came crashing down and Rojin walked over to it and started to simply... rip bits of metal off of it and put it in his inventory "Lass we have enough here.. come grab some..." he said looking over to Sylvia as if not even aware of the Cat maids existence... though it was clearly not him ignoring her, but when his eyes went over to her there was a clear look in his eyes that said he had no clue who or what she was, almost regarding her as a monster but not doing anything about her other then watching to see.. as if expecting her to ether go away or go hostile.

Rojin looked to the feline maid then to the girl that ran over they seemed to be talking, so maybe it wasn't a monster, it had even talked to him, and it was annoyingly noisy and as he took pieces of the Scrap metal the bar filled a bit more as he looked it over and nodded before standing up and looking to the girl in the maid outfit "If your going to be trusting a creature like this I suggest you teach it to keep quiet... or at the very least to speak in a less loud tone, unless you know now to fight and can deal with what might come after you, ether person or monster.. the unneeded volume it makes is something that could get someone in danger, and your a quiet one, you got a head on you so use it, by the looks of this creature I doubt it will put to much thought into your safety if it's being this loud now"

He started to walk away picking up the last bit of metal they needed to finish the mission a little "Mission complete" message popping up in front of them and he nodded "You do your work, more then I can say about some of the others here.. and your quite something that is also something I can't say for many others... find a way to deal with that noisy creature you seem to know there and you might be okay... ether way I am leaving now.." he said to her as he started to walk off looking for place to enjoy the quite once more as the Metal was taken from his inventory to give to the requester.
