RETURN [Gin/Alain]

[Lubbock]

The guy in the red cloak, 'Alain' as he called himself, must have been expecting Lubbock to grimace and turn cold at that very moment. The dude was wrong. Lubbock dismounted off of his steed and strode over to Alain with a casual gait, taking steps non-cautiously. When he approached the mercenary, he extended his red gloved hand.

"Heya! Name's Lubbock. Nice to meet you!" he greeted him, and the expression on Alain's face was that of astonishment as he rather shakily took Lubbock's hand in a handshake, "It's alright, I'm not mad at all. I actually rather liked that fight - except for when that four-armed bastard chucked me off the cliff... But that doesn't matter now. Gathering allies is more important,"

When Gin's red hair emerged from the gate, Lubbock's face lit up and he released the handshake, bolting over to his friend. He have him a friendly clap on the shoulder as a greeting.

"Yeah, I wasn't the first though. The Flash apparently got screwed over by that menacing green guy," he told him in reply. He stepped back for a moment and slid his hands into his pockets as he eyed off the giant bird - Tonic, as he was told at the park - with nothing but contempt.

"Lubbock, remember that Gin said they weren't good to eat," Syura reminded him. The boy's focus went back to Gin.

"So... Planning on going to that icy-looking place. You wanna tag along?" he asked, turning from Gin to Alain for confirmation.
