Kopaka squinted at the lound being that stood before him. He reminded Kopaka of someone...one of his siblings...but he could not remember exactly who. The memories seemed to overlap eachother and joggle together in ways that didn't match. He shook his head and ran a hand down his Akaku. Honestly, interacting with this armored plebian didn't interest the Toa in the slightest...but...Kopaka owed Athena quite a bit for her assistance in obtaining the Rau, so he would oblige her. Still, that didn't mean Kopaka had to pretend to be polite; this...'Kamen Rider' had done nothing to earn his respect, unlike Athena.
"The mask was part of my home world. I was equipping it for myself." Kopaka said in a flat tone. What was this man's angle, anyway? Kopaka did not recognize his mask as a Kanohi, so why bother hiding his face? At least Athena had a legitimate reason to choose to obscure her features. The Toa called upon the Akaku and peered through the Kamen Rider's mask. All in all, he appeares largely unremarkable for a human...which made it all the more curious for Kopaka. Perhaps he could turn this conversation around.
"Why do you travel with armor upon your shoulders? Are you expecting a fight?" Kopaka asked, his tone smooth and chilly. Kenjiro visibly flinched at the harshness of the Toa's tone. He had just been curious was all! There was no need for all of this tension!
Kopaka could feel Athena's hypothetical eyes upon him. She had given him the same look while bickering with the library director. Perhaps she thought his methodology was too aggressive. Perhaps. But at least it was controlled aggression unlike, Tahu. Pohatu has always compared Kopaka and Tahu like...wait...yes...Pohatu! That was who this man reminded Kopaka of. The Toa of Stone was always curious and talkative, but Kopaka seemed to remember liking Pohatu. Why had that been? The Toa's introspection was cut short by Kenjiro's response...
