(( Since Rep mentioned this on twitter + the cafeteria is a public open space, feel free to swing in and out of this rp at will. ))
Rep had told Rin he would meet her at the cafeteria next day, and despite being about as trustworthy as a rabid weasel most of the time, he had decided graciously on this occasion to actually honour a promise. He was seated at one of the better tables and was nursing a large definitely not standard issue mug of hot chocolate. The mug was purple and had a dragon on it, it was anyone's guess what sort of shop he'd procured it at.
He was perfectly willing to wait as long as it took for Rin to show up - somehow he'd avoided getting lumped with roster duties that day, and there was very little else to do on the island, other than perhaps go looking for some manner of PC on this shithole later.
Sliding his phone away a little, he shook his precious can of whipped cream and sprayed some on top of the drink. It was a fine and delicate art.

And then Rin arrived to ruin all his cocoa-making fun.
She quietly slipped into the cafeteria, not even bothering to text back to say she was coming. He knew she was coming.
She then proceeded down the rows of tables in search of him. She'd almost expected that he wouldn't be there. To see he was... well, there was a quiet relief - and then anything but relief. s**t was up. s**t was up for certain... and then there was that whole... Dwight thing, or whatever.
She rolled her eyes before sitting beside him, "Hey."

Satisfied that his drink was to his taste, he stowed the can away in the black backpack he carried around all the time lately. Only when this was done, did he actually bother to pay Rin attention. He'd known she was there, it was just a not-so-subtle assertion of dominance that he left it till he was ready to notice her. "Hey." He stated levelly, twirling his phone on the desk with a finger.
"I think you must have woke up half the ******** facility last night." He added, smirking as took a slow swig of the drink in his other hand.

"Damn right I did," she assured him. The dominant gesture went clear over her head. Instead, she turned in her seat to eye him over thoughtfully in that cool expressionless way she does, "So. Jordan is away with no clue as to when he'll be returning?"
She eyed his drink, wanting some badly but didn't bother to ask. Reps don't share s**t with nobody, "Is that why..." well, just, why everything really.

Rep gave her an irritable look, wishing she hadn't opted to delve right in on the painful stuff, he didn't reply right away either, simply took another drink first.
"It's just a mission I'm sure. Probably something ******** stupid, stuck one some outlier base twiddling his thumbs." He wanted to believe it, he really did, but surely there'd be some notice back at HQ that the mission had run long, or at the very least a text. Still, he couldn't afford to let himself worry too much, it was only a day, he wasn't desperate.
Except maybe he was.
He shook his head "And I dunno what you mean. I bought booze on my shore leave, I wanted some. I had some."

"You were still acting strange; even for you," she almost wanted to mention the kitchen 'joke' and the context of which she understood to some degree. But she wasn't keen to get him started on a tirade already.
"I'm sure you can understand my... uh. Concern," she tried to keep her emotions as clinical and simple as possible. Being too sappy and honest never seemed to work out well with anyone, "But I'm sure he's okay too. Jordan's the brains of your group. That means he doesn't charge into stupid situations like you and... uh... Harri, tend to."

"Cause I was drunk. Well. Not drunk, buzzed I guess. More relaxed than usual." It had been a good liberating feeling, old familiar liquid confidence. It skimmed all those doubts and self conciousness issues right off the top of his mind and left simply a confident contentment in its wake. It was only a pity it wasn't a permanent state of affairs and he had to go back to the way he felt right now, stretched and tense.
"I don't really get your concern actually, I don't see why you give a s**t about my problems." Not when she was so content to befriend people who clearly wished him harm.
"And don't call him Harri. It makes him sound like a ******** boy wizard."

"Because jackass, you're still my friend even if you don't agree," that's right Rin; it totally works that way.
"A boy... what?" she shook her head at Rep, the reference soaring clear over her head. She was never a fan of works of fantasy - even highly popular ones, "It's the correct short term for his name... not some... mage thing?"

"Friends don't hang around with the mortal enemies of their friends. Or ******** flirt with them either. And that's all you seem to do." he narrowed his eyes at her.
"Its not the right short term for his name, its a whole other name. And I mean Harry Potter. A stupid ******** book about a wizard kid. Well known. Has a bunch of movies and s**t. Did you live in a shoebox before coming here?"

"Funny, last I checked Harri and I don't get along and yeeeeeet~" a playful smirk.
She did look thoughtful at his description of Harry potter, "ACTUAL shoe box no but it was small enough I guess you could call it that," she took him a bit too literally, "Not sure what that has to do with such a book though. Doesn't seem like something I'd enjoy reading in any case."

He gave her a very stern look "He doesn't ******** like, wish death on your. He doesn't torment you on twitter. He's a good guy, you just can't see that. Dwight is a c**t. Just a straight up c**t. There's nothing redeemable about that nerd."
He thumped a fist on the table. "And Sasha still hasn't given me any weapons at all, so your choices in the past have been just as ******** great."
The other comments got her a very nonplussed look. "Yeah I mean its only this mass media thing that was all over the place pre-island. Did you even have a tv?"

"Dwight never said he wanted you dead," she eyed Rep over thoughtfully, "In fact, I got the impression he was just... scared of what you did. Scared you're becoming a monster. That hunters could even become monsters."
She frowned to herself, "It's a genuine fear, William... but it's not like I'm flirting with him either... and you forget; I liked Sasha before you decided to target her and push all her ******** buttons. I bet you're not even the slightest bit sorry how you treated her so how the ******** can you expect her to help you?"
She slid an elbow on the table to prop up her chin, "I had a TV but all I watched were documentaries and shows about nature, really."

Rep gave Rin a cold look. "Well he can keep his ******** opinions to himself. I don't want to be a nancy human. You fight monsters you have to become a more efficient ******** monster than they are. That's what I intend to do. I don't expect nerd of the year to understand that. Besides, he ******** made it crystal clear he hates me, even if he's too p***y to say what he wishes would happen to me."
"Its a bullshit fear, its the kind of fear that cowards hold. If they weren't willing to become a monster they shouldn't have bonded to one."
"Or demons, whatever."
He took a long sip of the hot chocolate again, what was normally a soothing taste did little to ease his anger. "No I'm not ******** sorry how I treated her. Just because she can't handle a few ******** pranks isn't my problem, I stole her lame a** ******** little flute."
He jabbed a finger at the prominent scars across his neck. "She almost ******** killed me."
"So no, I'm not ******** sorry. I'm waiting for an apology from her."

Dakota stomped over to the cafeteria, located a certain redhead, went up to him and then proceeded to rub his hands all over Rep's face.
"Hah to you sir." And then walked back out.

"If you become what we fight William... it should come as no surprise when people try to fight you. You're becoming the enemy and I don't like it one bit," she gave him a stern glare, "I don't want to lose you, not again, not completely," she shook her head dismissively.
"I just, is there ******** anyone on this whole ******** island you'd even approve of because you managed to not piss them o--," well hello Dakota. Rin just stared as Rep was thoroughly face molested and the perpetrator took off. Afterward, she noticed her cell was humming with twitter activity and the startled staring soon turned to horror.
