Shulk didn't quite know why he wasn't the least bit surprised when he saw a girl who wielded a gigantic sniper rifle, it just seemed natural. The girl, Ruby, was about the most cheerful person he'd met since his arrival to the Omniverse. Suddenly, any thought of being cautious around this new stranger vanished instantly, she appeared to be a nice enough person...if a bit eccentric. Not that eccentric was bad, not at all. Shulk just wasn't used to someone who talked so fast is all.
Ruby's fascination with the Monado caught Shulk completely off guard; worse, it put him on his guard again. "I...I don't know if you should. I don't know anything about the Monado, it could be dangerous." Shulk explained, crossing his arms and glancing uncomfortably at the sword on his back. Unfortunately, Ruby didn't appear to have paid attention to him, which would have annoyed Shulk if he hadn't been busy staring at the girl's weapon with a mixture of shock and awe.
It's a sniper and a scythe?! Thought Shulk, who wondered if such a weapon was feasibly useful in battle but he didn't care right now because he was looking an actual sniper scythe! "How does it work? Did you build it yourself? Can I..." he tore his eyes off of the transforming weapon and looked at Ruby, "...see it?" He stopped and chuckled, feeling embarrassed. The Homs boy got the distinct impression that he looked incredibly silly gushing over a weapon like a child would a toy.
"I'm Shulk," he shook Ruby's hand, though it was more like she nearly crushed it. "You have a tough grip for someone so... er, petite?" Petite was the more polite term for 'small', he figured. "You'd probably need to be pretty strong to carry something that large though," the Homs mused, staring at the Crescent Rose again while wondering if he'd forgotten something...
"Rin!" Shulk exclaimed, "my friend over there. His name is Rin," Shulk turned and pointed at his companion, and he was reminded of their objective. "We... uh, Rin wants to meet a dragon." Shulk wasn't sure if he wanted to ask Ruby to come along, considering their chances of survival were practically non-existent.
