Shifting Waters

[Lubbock]

Lubbock's expression turned awry when a groan was emitted from Xavier's vocals, as if some being was irritating him. Syura seemed to know something, hinted at by the low, sinister chuckle that echoed in the assassin's cranial space. What's so funny, huh? He questioned the voice, and Syura sighed slowly to calm himself down. "Oh, nothing, nothing at all!" He taunted obnoxiously, and Lubbock mimicked the cat-boy's disapproving groan. "Yeah, where I plan to go, I'm sure Teal and I will have a bunch of fun!" He replied grinning cheesily, before his jaw dropped in agitation when Syura commented, "And my longstanding point has just been proven."

Lubbock knew there was no point in arguing.

The assassin didn't blame the cat for abstaining from the fight, but cocked an eyebrow at the strange figure that had momentarily materialized, pulling Xavier along. Otherwise, though, he paid no mind to it. His attention came back to the machine approaching them, and he chuckled at Teal's incorrect notation of limited close quarters combat skill. "Well, shows how good you are at guessing others' strategies." He teased, before weaving his silver threads into a thick sword. "I have a feeling that strategy will not be nec-"

The assassin's eye caught something out of the ordinary, cutting off his sentence. There was a girl, wearing some kind of headphones and donning whisker-style markings on her cheeks lay prone within the mech's abdomen. "Hold up a sec..." Lubbock unraveled his weapon and waved a hand to Teal, telling her to stand down. Calmly he approached the pink goliath and leaned forwards to peer into the cockpit at the center. He tapped on the glass a couple of times, before grinning. "Hello in there!" He greeted the girl, hearing the sound echoing off of the glass from the outside.

The assassin took a step back and inspected the machine, not feeling Teal's presence arrive at his side, weapons still at the ready. "I have to give it to ya... this thing looks pretty neat." He offered, grinning goofily as he refrained from nerding out over the weaponized suit. His verdant eyes dropped back to the female inside, who seemed to still be playing cautious around the assassin duo. "Why don't you come out and greet us, eh?" He asked, hands in his pockets coolly.
