[Even faced with a situation like this, Johnny doesn’t let himself get down. There were plenty of instances when things looked bad, but he never gave up hope. His party members were usually much more cynical.
He lifted one leg and leaned his arm against it for a casual pose. If this was his agency back home, he would have had better accommodations, and Gaia could be more comfortable. Hopefully, they could keep talking for a while until they were able to ignore the noise from outside. All those moans and screams – they made him jolt every once in a while, as if directly shocked.]
Really? You’d have my back? [He smiled, looking happy at that prospect. She wasn’t treating him like a kid, despite saying he was young. He hated not being taken seriously. For that reason alone, he was tempted to tell people his real age, although that would open up another huge can of worms he didn’t want to deal with.] Hey, that makes us friends, right? You shouldn’t be ashamed of being able to fight. It’s way better than being helpless.
[Johnny shrugged a little, trying to make it seem like it wasn’t a big deal. He didn’t want to freak the girl out or anything.] Uh, it’s a little hot. [He slipped his jacket off and stuffed it into his lap. There, now he could cover up any embarrassing reactions from his body. It was definitely getting worse. What excuse could he give for a graceful exit?] How about you? Are you feeling all right?
Lenny wants me to take over my father’s company too. He doesn’t think I’m doing enough with the detective business. [The blond slouched forward a little.] But it’s something I like to do. It’s interesting. You find out a lot about people when you do investigations. [He waved a hand dismissively.] Something to do with science. Honestly, I never paid much attention to it.
[He noticed her moving closer, and thought it was a good sign. It must have meant she was starting to trust him. Never mind the fact that it was making him feel even hotter… He would be all right, as long as she didn’t touch him.]
(OOC: Sounds like fun~ They need to stick together in such a horrible setting, right? XD)
