He had just been settling into a resolve back at the Professor's lab when he found himself here instead, and his surprise made all that resolve crumble away rather quickly. As usual. He flinched at the sound of another person speaking, but he turned his head towards the speaker, Tuesday , and he nodded hesitantly at the cat girl.

"Uhm, yes. I'm new. ...Just got my starter at the lab," He stated, then his mind caught on the implications of that question. "Are you... not? ...Not new?" Concern began to etch itself on the face of his avatar. "Am I in the wrong place? Did- did the game mess up? Or..." He wasn't quite sure what the other possibilities were. But his mind had flooded with sudden anxiety at the thought that he was doing this wrong.

His hands clutched tight at the pokeball that held his partner, the Rowlet. The pokeball still had the label of ROWLET taped to it from the Lab (Would he have to find a garbage here to rid himself of that label? Would he be littering if he disposed of it elsewhere? He didn't want to litter...). He had hoped to interact with his partner some before being thrown into some quest, but it seemed that wasn't in the cards for him.

Now he was on a quest that sounded like a beginner quest but with someone who wasn't a beginner, so far as he could tell. And he'd probably made a mess of his first non-NPC interaction now, hadn't he? He'd gotten all brave and then broke when something unexpected happen. ...He definitely wasn't going to make any friends if he was a nervous wreck. But, he didn't know how else to behave, really. That's what he was, after all. Even if he had cool tattoos here in game that he'd never be brave enough to get for real, he was just as much Ezra inside as he'd ever been.
