The lanky guy got a slightly more curious look for his comment, the word Excalibur seizing his attention the way words like sugar, hot chocolate and piracy might have otherwise. He had no idea what he referred to though, as the guy departed, giving Robert a curious look that said without any words-
Explain.

Robert froze at the word Excalibur. How the hell would he have even known that? Robert didn't remember seeing him in the room that day-
"Oh <******** me." Robert sunk down into his chair as the man left, willing himself to die right there on the spot. When he opened one eye and saw Rep's face, he groaned and wished for death even harder.
"You're seriously not going to make me explain that, are you." The look in Rep's eyes said it all. But Robert could be hopeful.

There was a bump as Rep flopped down on his own chair with that same complete lack of grace as before. "Ayeeee." He crooned. "Aye. I want to know what he meant." Rep had never actually been on the tour of the caverns under the island - his awareness of the S class weapon extended simply to the fact it was powerful, it was somewhere, it was mentioned in legends back home, and it had something to do with the shield of the island. Anything that powerful had his entire rapt attention, and the fact that Robert seemed to have been within touching distance of the thing made him just as interesting as the blade itself .
A more pleasant person might have paid attention to the various cues that the other hunter probably wasn't entirely comfortable talking about the incident the stranger had nodded toward, but in Rep's head, his own nosiness and curiosity outweighed every other consideration. "Do tell."

"Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh."
Robert's groan was muffled through the arm he'd slung over his face when Rep's curiosity made itself known. He waited, at least a few more seconds, before he let out a sharp sigh and pushed himself up to sit straight. Then he glared at Rep, shook his head, and pursed his ********... fine. So you know how there's those weapons down deep in the cave below us?" He didn't know that Rep hadn't been debriefed on the topic. "Well I mean, there was. Now the assholes are running around here today - whatever. Anyway. So there's Merlin. He's the guy who just walked in here and shat in our Corn Pops. Then there's Excalibur, who kind of surrounded him, kept him from escaping.. see they're both Class S weapons. They're ********' balls to the walls strong. And now that I think about it.. if they're walkin' around here.. who the ******** is keeping Merlin from.."
He stared at the door with one brow cocked in worry.

So the weapons were underground? It made sense, and explained a lot of the weird s**t that appeared to have overtaken the island on occasion, there was a realisation why there had even been caves underneath the kitchens and what the strange crystals might well have been. He made a very determined mental note to get down there and see them at some point.
This train of thought was derailed at the idea of both Merlin and Excalibur out walking around like the other weapon golems. Especially if Merlin was supposed to be in a sort of containment but yet who had apparently just sauntered in on their conversation.
"s**t. And he's looking - I'm guessing for Excalibur. We should like. Well maybe we should like.. go after him? He might ******** all our s**t up if he's just walking around." he wasn't entirely keen on the idea of taking Merlin on if he was as strong as Robert had implied, but at the same time, doing nothing could possibly end up in a bad time.

Robert cringed at the idea of going after them, but he had to admit Rep was right. "Yeah. Okay, you see if you can follow Smiley here, and I'll try to find Excalibur." He stood up off his chair, and put both of his hands on Rep's shoulders.
"You need to do yourself a favor, and not get too close to Merlin, if you do find him. Just follow him maybe, or make sure he doesn't.. I don't know. Kill everyone." Robert's face turned comically serious. "Good luck."

Even as he nodded, Rep wondered how he had somehow landed the job of following the guy who could, in theory kill him with a thought. Thankfully Robert completely derailed his train of thought by putting his hands on the sun hunter's shoulders. Rep tensed up immediately and set his expression into a very neutral pokerface while inside he freaked out. People were always so damn touchy feely.
"Right." he grunted. "I'll keep an eye on the nerd." He waved off the well wishes. "S'cool, I don't need luck, I've been pushing around nerds for years, he might be all uber and s**t but I bet the instincts are still totally the same. Later bro."
And with those possibly famous last words, he slunk out of the rec room and into the hallway to look for some overpowered nerd.

Pushing around nerds for years.
Robert made a mental note to hang out with Rep more often, and headed off on his own to find himself a crazy sword.
