AH, HE HAD BEEN caught! A few glances had been thrown in the other’s direction, although Arash had tried not to be too obvious. It seemed that Mori had caught on a while back and just opted not to say anything until now. ❝Ahaha, I tried not to be noticeable, but guess I failed with that, huh?❞ He gave a near sheepish grin, arms coming to cross over his chest as he tilted his head slightly to look up at the other. The other was much less intimidating without his armor, but nothing about Mori lacked in this. That fiery red hair, that intense gaze, those sharp teeth, that height – it was like being in the presence of a tiger. However, despite this, Arash was not uneasy. If anything he was more or less intrigued by the other warrior more than anything.
❝Sorry for staring like I was, but I’ m not often in the same places you are, so it was interesting to see you dressed a little less like you’re off to battle. Had to double-take for a moment!❞ A few moments, maybe (that wasn’t important, though). Then again, seeing the other Berserkers just vibing sometimes was interesting in itself when it battle their temperament was a 360, so that was not saying much on his end, probably.
“Weren’tcha the guy with the laser eyes or sumthin’? Killer eyes? Watch out then.“ A telephone game of rumors later, that’s where the talk about the Archer’s mind’s eye ended up: in the mouth of a Berserker who had no idea about anything. That or not though. he was averse to eyes and a pair like an eagle’s scouting him out rubbed him wrong. Mori cocked his head to the side, arms intertwined in defensiveness. Reluctance in accepting that apology was clear and he wasn’t sure what to make out of the shift of topic to his own person.
Casual intonation did nothing for the tension and Arash’s trying smile shone against a rock. It needed a bit more to wind him down from his state of paranoia towards... everyone. The point of his armor seemed to help, his thoughts getting side-tracked to another rail. “Anywayyys, I wear my full-body armor for serious fights only, that’s why. Never seen ya fightin’ in anythin’ else though. I thought ya were a big shot hero, so bein’ humble like that’s-- mmmh, nah. Actually, that’s cool of ya. The more important, the flashier they come, but yer armor’s simple and good. Got a reason for that?“
