It's Time For The Opening Act!!

[Lubbock]

Lubbock stared in awe as the humanoid creature took Rose's hand tenderly; obviously he was just as wary of us as Lubbock was of him. That thought brought relief to the verdant assassin before the creature introduced himself as Khlas, soon after addressing the two as the Mistress of Strings and the Man of Jade... Lubbock would have been confused as to which one referred to him, had the former not been 'Mistress'. He approached the mystifying creature, grabbing ahold of the outstretched limb as a sign of peace also. Honestly, the guy had enough limbs to shake four hands at once; how was he going to have a problem with two?

Khlas seemed to refer to himself as a 'Vandal'. As much as it sounded like the name may have referred to the actual definition, Lubbock pushed that thought away, knowing that it was only the name of Khlas's species. He began speaking about salvage and scrap... maybe that was a luxury where he was from? "You... should be able to get some with-" He began to assist, but the Vandal was already on the case, manipulating the spectacular essence within him. "Omnillium..." He trailed off, scratching his head under his goggles idly. When Khlas asked if the two were friends of him, Lubbock let Rose give her reply before his own. "Of course, Khlas. You haven't tried to attack us, so I would say that makes you a friend." He replied with a friendly grin.

Soon enough, a voice filled his ears... but to him, there was some form of screeching behind it. He was able to receive the message, but the ear-piercing sound was highly unpleasant. Rose and Khlas didn't seem to have felt the same, as Rose went on greeting the strangely clad newcomer unusually casually. "I... Believe that was due to me being here in your head, too." Syura echoed quietly in Lubbock's mind. In other words, the woman's speech acted like a two-way radio with Syura, creating that squealing sound. Rubbing his ears tenderly, the assassin squared up to the newcomer. "It's nice to meet you, Peregrine Mendicant. I'm Lubbock." He introduced himself, ears still sore. Hopefully Syura would find some way to hide himself when PM was talking...
