Kanda comes around the corner, apparently speaking to someone over his shoulder and nearly walks right into Yosuke as he's getting up. He stops short, scowling down at him, his sword in his hand.
He looks a bit scuffed up, but nothing serious, and nothing that would immediately explain the incredibly annoyed expression on his face. Two of the beads on his bracelet are lit--one green, the other yellow--but apparently he's not finding any satisfaction in that either.
"Taking a rest?" he asks, though judging by his demeanor he's not very interested in the answer.

He gave Kanda a quick once-over, noticing the beads on his arm. Damn.
"Something like that." This guy's attitude... Yosuke wasn't too sure he liked it that much. But if he had two beads already lit up, then, maybe...

As far as he was concerned, the simple fact that he and this man were in the same hallway together was hardly reason to waste time on chit chat, team up, or even stick around.
He needed one more of these damn wolf-things to be through with this idiocy, and the sooner he could be, the better. Especially if there was even the slightest outside chance that anyone else was going to try throwing themselves into his arms and--ugh, he didn't even like to think about it.
He fixed the young man with an assessing glare in turn, and then, evidently not impressed, breathed an impatient little Tch as he moved to walk passed him down the hall. Perhaps in the back of his mind he realized that he was being rude (even for him), but recent events had put him off the idea ( ... )

Still, just because Kanda was being an ass didn't mean Yosuke had to be. Especially since this guy could obviously help him get more of his beads lit up.
"That's a dead end," he said, loudly enough to make sure that he could hear him even as he was moving away. "I just came from there, and there weren't any."

Unfortunately, turning around and heading back the other way meant that he was likely to run into Walker again, a possibility on which, given recent events, Kanda was less than keen. He seemingly had two choices of company: the fucking Beansprout who was at least a capable fighter and (his downright bizarre actions earlier notwithstanding) a known annoyance, or else this guy--whoever he was--with the strange earmuff-looking things around his neck.
He considered for a moment before he spoke. "They appear sometimes in places they haven't been before," he said. But even though that might justify checking the dead-end up ahead, Kanda didn't walk away just yet.

This guy obviously knew what he was doing to be able to get 2 beads done already; Yosuke knew it was better to stick in groups than to go it alone. That meant he was going to try to stick as close to this guy as possible. Of course, it didn't seem like he was going to try to make it easy. Yosuke crossed his arms, one of his long kunai dangling from between his fingers.
Why couldn't he have run into someone a little more helpful?

It wasn't as if Yosuke couldn't be of service to him- not that Kanda would know or, y'know, care, but all the same. As to demonstrate that point, though, as Kanda walked past, Yosuke spun the kunai in his hand, not dropping it for once, which at least helped him look a bit more competent. He wasn't being very subtle in his intention to follow him down the hall and... well, wherever he went, but at the same time Kanda had made it plenty clear that he didn't want to be bothered- which meant Yosuke would be keeping his distance and keeping as quiet as possible.
He just really, really wanted those wolves.

He stopped for a moment facing the triad of passages ahead, just long enough to let the kid catch up with him, and then spun abruptly on his heels to face him.
"If you're coming with me then make yourself useful," he barked.
Not that there was really anything in particular that he expected the kid to do at the moment. It was more Kanda's version of acknowledging--and in a way accepting--that the preposition "with" now applied to his current situation, while the adverb "alone" did not.

That wouldn't be any good.
Instead, Yosuke slipped his headphones up over his ears. "I'll be 'useful' once we find some wolves."

If this kid couldn't be bothered to even pay proper attention to their surroundings, then it wouldn't be Kanda's problem if he ended up getting his ass handed to him by something he never heard coming.
With a dismissive hrmph he led them down the farthest right corridor, one he had not yet explored, and then around a few more turnings, a right fork, a left, until he stopped at a turning, listening.
From the passageway to their left was a faint, almost inaudible fwhap fwhaping sound as of animal shaking itself.

Which was why when he turned the corner, he found himself looking down one of the wolves they were intended to capture, nearly jumping back and colliding with Kanda. He almost exclaimed "dude!" but held his breath when he realized that might scare it away. Lucky for him, (and for Kanda) it hadn't seemed too bothered by his sudden appearance.
