Ro had been released from the hospitals in the labs, had ignored the poker game and the events that followed and simply moved on. Granted moving on was hard. He hadn't spoken to Jordan in a while, he was still pissed at Rep and generally just bitter through and through.
<< You need to let it go you're going to eat yourself up over all of it Ro... >>
"I'm not, he almost killed me, you heard him laughing, you felt it just like I did he crushed our shield and ground my half lopped off shoulder into the dirt. He's a psychopath and while I'm grateful for Jordan once more picking up Rep's mess and dragging me to the labs I'm not putting up with him if it means dealing with his emotional baggage in the form of his psychotic boyfriend."
He was getting into old habits again, talking to Sylvia out loud, it felt good to say those words out loud then thinking them in his head, even if it did make him look like a crazy in the middle of the cafeteria as he dropped his tray at a table.

Rin was abruptly startled out of her silent reverie as a tray came smacking down beside her. She had her own tray, almost bare at this point, but it wasn't the cause of the sudden intrusion that disrupted her deep thoughts. No. She twisted her head around and up to glare at the accused as he sat down.
"The ******** was that for?" she snarled irritably, unaware he might actually have a reason.

<< You've upset someone genius >>
< Thanks. I noticed. >
It was too late now he was already seated and his tray was planted, no way to simply walk away from this now so he was forced to turn and face Rin, for a moment his eyebrows seemed to peek every so slightly. It was the girl Rin from the cage with the markers. Annnnd she wasn't at all happy with him.
"Sorry, I just got out of the labs thanks to a job done by the island psychopath." He reached for his fork shoving a bit of his food around, "So I'm just... a little upset. Probably because he thought it was a jolly idea to not only nearly kill me, but laugh about it and stomp my mangled shoulder into the dirt while going on a triad about keeping away from whats his again."
He took a bite of what he assumed was passing as meat today before dabbing his cheek with a napkin, "So... again, sorry. About the tray, and stuff."

"Ahhh.. you. I remember you," Rin wrinkled her nose a bit, "That sounds like William alright. He..." Her expression shifted, suddenly far less severe as she scooped the last of her green beans up with a spoon and shortly after a bit of a chew swallowed to resume that train of thought, "He doesn't exactly play well with others."
Ro likely noticed by this point, "Uh... I must confess. I'm not really good with names." That meant she completely forgot his and had no clue what it even could have possibly sounded like.

"Yup. You drew a d**k on my face while we were in jail together. Along with everyone else too." He continued to work at his tray eventually giving up on eating anything alone and just mixing the piles together as one. "He's a closeted, jealous, b***h." The words where blunt, harsh, and dead on. "He has it in his head I'm trying to steal Jordan from him and takes that as a prime excuse to kill me."
Moving for a cup of water he washed out the taste of... what ever he just ate before turning to face Rin, there was something different about those eyes, he might have been panicked in the cage, but now they just seemed, depressed. "Roland. I think I ran into you during Fright Night too... you where the dog thing right? Tall, rotting, and uhh a 'boil' is the term right?"

"And that sounds like me," she smirked as she distracted herself with the final and best part of her meal. The little tiny brownie with rainbow sprinkles. It was hers, all hers. But it was gone in an instant and quickly she was frowning again and looking back to Ro, "Well... are you? Interested in Jordan, I mean." She seemed to dismiss everything else in the moment as she just zoned right in on that one topic.

"Heh yeah..." He noticed the brownie, it was tiny, chocolate, and covered in sprinkles. He admired it for a moment before it was gone. An empty void growing in his stomach as he realized he was indeed too late to get desert with his lunch. Rin may have eaten the last sprinkle brownie of the day. His own eyes flickered up to Rin's as he debated the question.
It lead to a slightly awkward silence.
"I well... I haven't. I didn't originally, maybe in another time or place. But here? Now? No. Not any more. Let him have his psychotic pet. I wanted to believe everything Jordan's said, finding someone here to be with, some kind of rock to go too. That Rep isn't a terrible person, but after this? Jordan's a fool for wasting his time on Rep. And Rep is batshit insane."
He moved back to his meal, visibly more depressed shoulders hanging lower as he took a few more bites, "I was an idiot for thinking I could be friends with either of them..."

"Well... he's not that bat s**t insane if there is a bit of truth to his concerns," she licked her index finger and then started poking up all the little chocolate crumbs and once she was certain she had every last speck she licked her finger clean.
"Maybe just maybe he feels threatened for a reason, you know? It might seem his reaction is severe... very severe... and certainly crossed quite a few lines... but hunters are made of tough s**t. A good lesson to learn this early on really. Piss someone off enough and you're likely to live through the pummeling to come so avoid it," a tip she wished someone had given her much sooner.
She folded her little milk carton open and took a careful sniff before washing down the brownie and continuing the discussion more refreshed, "Basically I guess I'm saying he's a pretty vicious guard dog and he takes that job very seriously. It's just who he is. As long as you have any interest in his.. uh... his brains... then you might as well avoid the lot of um."

He took another sip from his glass of water putting it down a bit hard against the table. "He accused me, insulted me, called me unwanted trash. I tolerated a lot from him, thinking 'he's not that bad, Jordan's right, Harrison is right, Sylvia knows Ferros told her, he's just worried about loosing people.' And what does he do? Everything he can to rip me apart figurativly and literally." He closed his eyes, he could still see Tracey rushing towards him, had he not blocked, had Sylvia not been there he might not have had an arm, or had a lot worse then just a horribly deep gash.
"Fine, maybe he has a reason. But that will never justify a thing he did. I was worried about him, he shunned me for no reason and all I wanted to know was why to try and sort it out and that what it lead too." He took a few more bites frowning, "If there is a next time I'll be sure to put Sylvia through his shoulder and see how he likes being left to bleed out in the dirt..."
For a while he ate in silence before putting down his fork and sliding his tray away frowning harder. "I don't know... I hate him right now. I see why everyone seems to dislike him or tense around him but just..." He leaned over resting an elbow on the table and placed his head in his hand. "What do I do? Cut off talking to Jordan? One of I don't know.. maybe four people in my life I would even call a decent friend? It seems the only solution that won't end with Rep trying to murder me...."

"Have you listened to a word I said?" the words though harsh did not reflect in the look on her face. Rin looked quite amused in fact, "I'm trying to tell you you're poking a bear here. A big a** grizzly with cubs. If you get mauled it's your own fault and you're going to live through it cause your a** is a hunter now."
"The fact you're still wibbling on whether or not to keep at it is like... really stupid man. I'm just saying. Give them space. You only just woke up. There's a s**t ton of other friends you can make that don't come with known mauling risks."

Ro's eyes flickered to the side catching her own gaze before going back to his meal still resting his chin on his hand. "Grizzly bear with cubs and a axe as big as I am." The thought caused him to look at his left shoulder. He was really, really lucky to have that arm considering Tracey's size.
"Maybe, probably..." She had a decent point at least. He hadn't been here long at all. He pushed his tray away standing up looking to Rin, still clearly frustrated but not as bad as when he slammed his tray down. "Walk with me?" he asked, "We'll ignore... this problem, and worry about another one." He smirked ever so slightly, "You ate the last brownie which means vending run."

Rin looooked at Roland's tray, "But you didn't finish your dinner." She looked serious.

Roland also looked at his tray. Then back to Rin again.
"Those are not green beans those are the remains of something that was once green beans and destroyed by the evils of the cafeteria."

"Green beans or no, you still hadn't finished them," Rin's tone kept stern as did the look on her face.

Ro stared at Rin, then the tray, then Rin again. Very slowly he sat back down dragging his tray over. For the next few moments he ate in silence before sliding the now empty tray away from himself.
"Do...do you always do that look? It's like having your mother scowl at you over the dinner table..."
