"OH s**t! Uuph-"
It doesn't take long to fall ten feet, in all honesty, but Rex has good reflexes, so he has plenty of tyme to see that he's been portalled in high above the ground and dropped like a child's doll and chose an articulate reply to the situation.
He lands hard, barely managing to keep his face from cracking against a tomb-stone, before standing and glancing around while casually brushing the grave dirt from his hands and knees. His hair, on this dark evening, is neon green, sticking back off of his head in four spikes, each about eight inches long. It looks a little scorched.

Umiko looked around when she heard a noise. "What was that?" she asked then looked over and saw the guy who had crashed on the ground. She ran over to him, Sake following behind. "Are you okay?" Umiko asked.

Rex watches the girl come, cocking his head to the side as he brushes dust and what may or may not be soot from the sleeves of his jacket. He considers going for his gun, or possibly his katana, but doesn't see any particular threat in her question.
Instead, he runs his hands over his hair, carefully avoiding his goggles, and causing the green to deepen to almost black before the whole mess falls limp over his shoulders, then sucks into his head until it's become a wild mess sticking out roughly two inches in every direction. The effect is designed to be slightly distracting, while simultaneously putting his hand near the hilt of the sword angled across his back,
"I'm alright. You make a habit of frequenting cemeteries in the middle of the night?"
His expression is primarily empty, with only a hint of a smile at one corner of his mouth. He locks his fingers behind his neck, that he may keep his hand close to his weapon, should the need arise.

"No, I was just visiting my parents. I mean, my parents graves."Umiko replied, her cat tail wrapping around her legs. Sake walked over to him, and the little black cat looked up, asking "What are you doing falling out of a sky?"

Rex glances upward, taking his eyes off of the girl only for a second before shrugging and returning his gaze to her. He nonchalantly pulls his goggles over his eyes as he drops his hands to his sides,
"It's a bad habit of mine, I should probably break it, but I'm not sure I can."

Giggling a bit, Umiko asked "How does one make a habit of falling from the sky?" Sake hopped onto Umiko's shoulder's observing the boy. "Maybe he isn't normal, like us." he whispered to her.
"Oh yeah, WE'RE normal." Umiko said sarcastically with a smile. She turned back to the boy. "I'm Umiko, by the way. This little creeper is Sake."'she said pointing to Sake on her shoulder.

Rex smirks at the word 'normal', but doesn't comment on it, or even bother to answer the question.
"Call me Rex."
He shifts his footing, watching the two through his goggles and checking the readings he's receiving.

Umiko smiled at him. "Rex. Very nice to meet you!" she said happily. Sake nodded in agreement. "Nice to meet ya! What are you exactly?" he asked curiously. Umiko hissed at him. "Don't just ask people what they are!"
"Oh shut up." Sake rolled his eyes at her.

Rex chuckles, his eyes locking onto the cat,
"I am almost one hundred percent human. Other than the freakish ability to change my hair color and style at will, I'm just an average Joe."
Something about the fact that he's carrying a katana and a high caliber revolver in plain view makes the statement a little less believable.

Sake nodded.'"You don't seem like it, but I'll take your word for it. Inmcase you were wondering, I'm a cat!" he grinned.'"Thanks, obvious." Umiko said. "Oh and this rigt here," Sake said, motioning to Umiko, "Is my sex kitten!" Umiko rolled her eyes. "For the last time, I'm neither yours or a sex kitten. I'm a neko!"

He smiles, a crooked expression, and winks,
"I'm just well equipped. And I know what you are, don't worry about explaining."
He leans back until he touches a tombstone, then lets his feet slide forward so that he can relax and be partially off of his feet.

Umiko nodded. "That's good. Hey, do you go to the school nearbye?" she asked curiously. Sake jumped from off her shoulders and sat on a tombstone.

Rex turns his gaze toward the school, though he couldn't possibly make it out from here...without his rifle's scope.
"Well...kindof. I'm enrolled, but I haven't gotten around to actually attending just yet. I've been too busy blowing things up-...er...been too busy with work."

"Oh really? That's basically he same with us. We just got here today and haven't gotten around much." Umiko told him. Sake's eyes chased after a butterfly. "Yeah, you're the first person we have socialized with here."

"Oh, I've socialized, I just haven't done much with classes or anything."
Socializing...he'd actually managed to get himself caught up in a threesome shortly after arriving, but that wouldn't be likely to make safe conversation.
