The look he throws back at him is one of genuine surprise; baby blue eyes blinkin’ back about three or four times. That… was extremely easy, wasn’t it? Usually, he might’ve had to beat around the bush a bit more before gettin’ his real request across … but damn!!
If he’d picked up on it this quick, then the show was already on the road — no doubt about it! Slammin’ his hands on the table with a big ‘ol grin takin’ up half his face, Zapp grabbed the nearest sheet of paper he could find ( alongside a decent lookin’ pen ).
❝Y'ain’t never heard of a hype man, have ya? I can see it on your face, my friend, and I know just the thing that’ll help ya understand!❞ As he’d said this, his hand was at work drawin’ a pretty good example; a big snowman-lookin’ fellow, raisin’ oval-like arms to an 'audience’ of tally marks drawn just below. ❝They’re the dudes who help get people real excited for somethin’ that’s about to go down — like, a fight, or a concert. I’m gonna be the one fightin’, so I need all the mo—❞
❝I-I mean… support, that I can get!! It’s gonna take place in one of those abandoned warehouses a little ways outta this part of town; some new gang’s made it their turf, recently— and, to be brief; ya boy here got a little brave, while checkin’ it out.❞ Nothing new, right?
『 ✞ 』Inquisitive eyes observed whatever was being drawn on the piece of paper, and as it was supplemented with a coherent description, he came to understand the point Zapp was trying to make. However, something about the scenario felt familiar for Klaus. Daresay, déjà vu? Rewinding his memories a bit, he eventually found out the reason behind the gut feeling--
“Is this, by any chance, like the E-Den incident all over again?” he asked. Where someone like Leonardo would throw profanity like confetti at Zapp over the memory, Klaus almost forgot what happened by the end of it all if not for the similar scenario that the other presented just now.
Although even after asking, he figured that there were significant differences between the past incident to the present one. Firstly, Zapp was going to be the one fighting, not Klaus. He wasn’t in any danger this time as well. And from the looks of it, Klaus would likely be in the sidelines. Maybe the only actual similarity was the fights that were going to occur.
“Hm, so you’re basically just asking me to accompany you to your destination?" he mused. “What would I exactly benefit from this favor you’re asking?”
