Kanda stood still, not because he was afraid to move but because he was absolutely confused. This was not what he was expecting at all. He was ready to face soldiers, Akuma or even Omni himself but instead there were two people infront of him that looked as lost as he was. He wasn't alone, these must be the other people Omni told him about, other people that interest him. One of them was a very young girl, her outfit was black with blood red linings and from what he could tell she was wearing small cape aswell. She looked harmless. The person with her was a man, his clothing was allot different, a brown coat, orange shirt and a top hat. He aswell looked harmless, but as Kanda knows looks can be deceiving and the question remains, are they friendly or hostile ?

The thought hadn't left his mind or the young girl approached him. Kanda still holding on to his Katana, was she going to attack ? Was this all a distraction ? He controls his breathing and tightens his grip on his sword.

Hi! the girl said with a cheerful tone of voice and with a smile on her face "My name is Ruby Rose, and this is Professor Hershel Layton. What's your name?" the innocent smile and her friendly voice threw Kanda off.

I ..erm...i'm Kanda, a pleasure meeting you both He gives them a smal yet respectable nod as he speaks.

He places his sword back into it's sheathe. The blade can be heard scraping when it is being pushed down until the final clasp is heard.

is it safe to presume you aswell have been brought here by Omni? he asked calmly as he looked at the girl.

The girl confirmed this and explained to Kanda what about the gates they have seen. How there was a gate with palmtrees, she seemed very excited about that gate even if she tried to hide it. A gate with guards that scared her, both a warm and cold gate and several more.

We were about to go explore the gate with the barks and vines the Professor said as he follows up on Ruby's story.

Kanda looked towards the direction where a gate of bark and vines stands.

Are you sure that is wise ? Bringing a young girl into a treacherous looking place like a jungle ? I noticed a gate of clean hewn stone. That might be a sign of civilisation, if such a thing exists here.
