Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I thought popularity was supposed to be your shtick or something. Besides, no one's going to want to get too close to you if they see me standing next to you." Rowan commented, still not really aware of the fact that he looked far less demonic and threatening than he had a while back. To him, he had always been the rather frightening-looking Knight that no one wanted to approach or talk to unless they had evil intentions or were attracted to his demeanor. Now, however, he was like a Knight straight out of tales of Earth's Arthurian legends. People may be just as interested in talking to him and figuring him out as they were trying to understand Blake. "I've dealt with dragons, basilisks, and all sorts of other creatures, I can handle a few oglers trying to take pictures of you." Rowan stated, cracking his knuckles rather menacingly compared to the appearance he currently had. Regardless of the way he dressed or the color that Gram decided to become, Rowan was still Rowan deep down inside. That meant he was horribly violent and rather merciless when it came to dealing with other people.

Turning his attention to Lucy, he crouched near her and patted her on the head rather gently. Gram's compete fusion with his body made the armored-looking hand like a second skin, capable of feeling things that it touched and also allowing him to realize how much pressure he could exert on things. "What a rather clever way to sneak in 'we'll watch more than a few, the whole series' without ever really stating that. I think your devious nature is growing a bit too quickly. We'll have to beat up Natalia for turning you into a clever little monster." Rowan stated rather sweetly to his sister, suddenly using Natalia's whole name rather than a cute nickname or anything of the sort. Just that entailed that Rowan was probably irritated a bit with Natalia and might find some way to enact vengeance later. "I don't think you're one for meditation, so we'll just introduce you to the pack later. We can even ride one of the wolves if you're good." Rowan commented, not really sure whether or not Lucy would even be interested in what Rowan usually did on his own. Being a Knight was kind of his life in a sense, and most of his free time was spent trying to either better himself or meditating to keep his senses sharp.

Natalia's voice caught his attention once again, the woman stating that their group might not go unnoticed in Akihabara. The only benefit of it was the fact that Rowan now had a completely different appearance to the one that destroyed those warehouses pretty much, effectively saving him from facing any repercussions from the battle that occurred. Given that it was impossible to really draw blood from him, they could not even discover whether or not he was at the scene of the crime as nothing short of an Armament could pierce his skin or make him bleed. His fingerprints were also nonexistent since Gram covered his hands, making him untraceable. Thinking back on it, he remembered that woman, Echo, complaining about how the only evidence they could even pull from a crime scene like that was the video footage, which was enough to attribute the actions to the Delinquent of Shibuya. Now, however, he had a completely different appearance to him from before. I guess I managed to get pretty lucky on this one. I might need to be a bit more careful in the future though, so that I don't cause too much destruction when I fight.

It was then that it finally hit Rowan, while Natalia was talking about transformation scenes, what sort of look Rowan preferred for Blake. "I'd like to see you... in something darker. And more confident." Rowan flat out stated to Blake, almost as if he was talking about something that they had been discussing all along. "That's my opinion. I think... black would suit you really well. And Fae. That's my preference." Rowan stated while looking looking away slightly, trying to hide the fact that he was uncomfortable saying such things. Perhaps her shift to her darker personality really had revealed some things that Rowan had buried deep inside him for quite a while. Honestly, he had never really put too much thought into his own preference when it came to things like clothing or women... and Blake had sort of always been the standard that he enjoyed. The idea of her in darker clothing, however, was starting to appeal to him more and more as his own appearance became lighter and lighter. Maybe it was just the natural result of things. The more white that he began to wear, the more black he would like to see Blake where. The contrast just appealed to him in a purely basic sense. Plus, it would probably work out for her fan-base if the two of them contrasted both in personality, dress, and what they wore compared to their own personalities.

As for Natalia's conversation shift towards how things went on their trip, Rowan's eyes quickly snapped to her and he spoke as if he was reciting a story he had memorized and dared anyone to question it. "I got my Armament to start working properly. Apparently it was some kind of Append Armament, and when it activated it fused to Gram and turned me into... whatever this is." Rowan commented, holding up his hands as he stared at the white, armored appendages. The drastic change was kind of alarming... although it would probably be a bit more plausible to move about in this world dressed like this. "Honestly, the whole change makes me seem like one of those protagonists plastered all over Akihabara. I don't think I'll like any of the attention this is going to bring me. When Gram was darker and I was wearing more old outfit, I was a lot more difficult to approach. People avoided me too. Now... I don't think I'll be as lucky as that." Rowan commented, pretty sure that he might get his own fan-base after he is seen in public with Blake. "Oh, and we killed a dragon, I guess that means we have another small fortune to put in the bank. Pretty soon we could probably build an even bigger mansion or have a vacation home in Eldrin or somewhere." Rowan, for the first time anyone probably ever heard him, joked as he pointed out a bag that was sitting out in the hallway, filled to the brim with dragon materials. "What about you. What did you teach Lucy while I was gone." He suddenly asked, his judgemental eyes growing darker as he began to move in on Natalia, trying to figure out what she had filled his sister's mind with.
