It didn't matter what the fuck was going on, Ikkaku wasn't taking any chances. Chucking his journal over his shoulder, the Gryffindor rolled off his bed and easily grabbed the wood sword and scabbard resting on his bedside table. After all the shit all over his journal there was no way in hell he was going somewhere unarmed - especially if Yumichika was unconscious.

The Gryffindor didn't bother waiting for Ren as he strode out of the Common Room, sword and wand in hand, and he quickly made his way to where he had agreed to meet Quisits. Quickly, and jumpily. More than one first year nearly leapt out of their skins as Ikkaku launched himself around corners with loud yells and sharp swipes of the sword.

"Oi," he called out in greeting as he arrived. He couldn't manage anything less gruff right now.

Lounging on the couch in the Common Room, Ren raised his head noticing Ikkaku storm out the door in his...usual manner. He waited till he heard the door slam before he let out a loud sigh and rose from his seat, following his dormmate out the door. Briefly noticing the frightened first years, he sent them a simple, almost sympathetic grin and said, "Don't worry, he'll be graduating soon and will no longer terrorize these halls," before turning the corner to see said terror and his girlfriend.

"So, why is he coming again?" Ren joked, pointing to his bald friend, "We're just looking for Yumichika, not slaying dragons."

When Ikkaku walked into the passageway, Quistis was perhaps a little surprised by his gruffness. But then she also understood. He was a high-strung, exuberant guy, and the ... weirdness was probably taking its toll on him. Still, though... Arching an eyebrow, she pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose. "Is that any way to greet your girlfriend, who is going out of her way to help your friend?" She was mostly teasing. Mostly.

When Ren entered, Quistis gave him a wave and a brief smile. "He's coming because Yumichika is his best friend," she said. "And because if we run into anything strange, he can fight it off while we run away." She put a hand over her mouth, giggling slightly, before straightening up and switching to Business Mode.

"Should we start in the Hufflepuff Common Room?" she asked. "...Though I don't know where it is, or the password." She turned to Ikkaku. "Do you?"

"Fuck off," Ikkaku spat out, looking over at Ren. "Yumichika my best mate, ain't he? 'Course I'm comin' along." Sheathing the sword, he laid it across his shoulders, each hand hooked over it. "Yer don' think Hufflepuffs are the only ones who give a shit abou' their friend, do ya? Che."

What a fucking idiot. Ikkaku shook his head. He liked Ren, he was a decent guy, but sometimes he thought that what he really needed was to have a couple of hard punches to the head. Maybe that'd knock some fucking sense into him.

"Don' give 'im ideas," he said to Quistis, less harshly than his tone had been to Ren. "'S already enough of pansy. Yer a Ravenclaw, if ya run away it's smart. He does it an it's fuckin' coward-shit he's rollin' in."

Ikkaku grinned. "Don' know it, but I bet we can find a first year that does." He was a Gryffindor, but that didn't put him above taking advantage of how scary he could be.
