Rinzler hadn't done much since he'd woken up aside from get dressed and eat. He had planned to do some further reading on the User... things... he'd discussed with Roy previously. The knock at the door came as a surprise, one that had him reaching for the staff and a throwing knife that had been provided by the Watch. The knock startled him, and he kept both weapons at hand as he crept silently to the door and peeked through the hole.

It was just Rikku. He put the knife away and set the staff next to the door before cautiously opening it.

His head tilted, purring sound inquisitive. It had been a while since he'd last seen her. What had she been doing?

"Sorry--my cousin got beat up really badly in Arizona, and I've been taking care of her," she explained, passing over the extra-large coffee she'd brought for him. "And a bunch of other completely boring stuff. I'm really sorry I haven't been over in a while." Rikku smiled a little. "Are you busy?"

Coffee. Rinzler accepted it with a grateful nod. After a moment of hesitation, his hand lifted to his helmet. The front visor lifted slightly, revealing think pink lips and pale skin that was covered with brown stubble. It wasn't as though the User was seeing his whole face, after all.

He shook his head no and took a sip of the coffee. There was nothing to do until it was time to head down to work.

Rikku said nothing about the helmet, even if it was a little...creepy to see just a mouth and nothing else. What had happened to Rinzler's face to make him hide that much?

"Wanna go to the pet shop with me? I wanna get a kitten, and I don't think you've seen those up close yet, right?"
