a-ha. an opportunity to be helpful presents itself, and his instincts switch onto autopilot, certainty and confidence instilled ‘pon his grin. why, yes, he knows the forest maze like the back of his hand, memorizing every twist and turn to get through every best route. cracking knuckles into each palm, geno decides that it’s time to get his game on.
somewhere in the back of his mind, however, does he wonder if he’s seen this guy before. prior visits to the smash mansion, wherein his mother resides for that tournament, enables him to meet all sorts of people. maybe he’s seen him in passing... or an image of him? maybe he’s never actually seen him before at all. how very curious.
❝ do i? oh, you bet i do. i practically live here. ❞ given his partial residence is at the rose town inn, this place serves almost like his backyard. with a click of his jaw and a tap of his foot, he begins to formulate a plan on the fly. ❝ let’s see here... i’ve got you here right now, so it’s best that i show you a path right now. you could follow me and lay down your markers as you do —— but you’ll have to be careful. danger lurks around every corner, and you’d be best off prepared for any kind of encounter. just about anything can draw near if you’re not on your guard! good news is... ❞
a wink is all that’s offered before an index finger lifts, the top digit popping off to expose a miniature muzzle, a very tiny star gun within. that’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his arsenal, too. ❝ i’m no stranger to the baddies around here. i’d say i’d protect you, but... you look like you can hold your own in a fight, yeah? —— especially if you’re bringing that thing along with you. ❞
head nods towards the blade he wields, and that isn’t even to mention the shield he keeps. it’s quite clear to him. this guy is no stranger to the heart of battle.
