Minato was almost at the location that they'd selected to meet; for some reason, he actually felt nervous about the meeting. It was, he figured, probably because the two of them had only spoken until now, as opposed to meeting first (as was the usual, at least where he was from; Tieria seemed to be from somewhere completely different and perhaps social customs were completely different there...well, in the future).

At least it wouldn't be a problem with Faust, that he'd gone to meet Tieria. He was sure that if Faust met him, the two would...get along. Or something like that. Tieria might not have been one of the most friendly people around (and he meant that in an entirely endearing way; it was more like dealing with a somewhat-cuddly porcupine than it was a more vicious animal...but it was an odd comparison to make, and he didn't even know why he was making it).

Either way, he had a meeting to get to, so he hurried his steps a bit, to get there faster.

Tierie checked his PCD one last time. He has just notified the others that he wa going outside... but they still seemed upset.
Okay, it was his fault not to take any guns with him since those monsters arrived, but he has been too anxious to meet Minato that he forgot about it.
As long as they won't hunt after him, it was fine.
Tieria looked up and spotted a blue-haired person...

That must be him...

"Mi... Minato", he asked with a low, insecure voice.

He looked up from the ground (where he usually looked while walking; it was a habit, perhaps, something he did without thinking), and spotted the boy in front of him. "That's me," he said, slowly, and looked over him. "You're...Tieria, then?" Must've been, there wasn't really anyone he knew that knew his name, not anyone that looked...well, like that.

Tieria got out of his waiting position to turn to the boy.

"Yes, I'm Tieria", he answered the question, trying to hide his anxiousness and excitement with a stoic face. What was he supposed to do now? With Sion, it was easy... they basically just exchanged information and told each other what they thought was important... but what should he tell Minato?

"It's... nice to meet you for real", he said, trying to act as human as possible, holding a hand out.
