<br/>​</div>The library was a welcome respite from the chaos of the battlefield - the altercation with Nekro still predominant in Robin's mind.  He wasn't in much of a forgiving mood but decided to hold his tongue.  Starting a secondary incident was less than ideal at the moment.  Still, he couldn't help but let his mind wander, especially given the circumstances.  Shiro's semblance was itself a curiosity - it seemed to manifest as some sort of time distortion if the clock-based symbolism was anything to go by.  While Robin was immediately distrustful of anyone even claiming such capabilities, he decided to harbor his skepticism for a later date.  There were enough team-related conflicts as it was and he didn't feel a need to further contribute.<br/><br/>Speaking of team-related conflicts...<br/><br/>K's criticism was still ever-present in his mind, but Robin found himself most interested in her words.<i>'Us faunus?'</i>So, she was one too.  In hindsight, this explained her overly-defensive behavior at his dislike for Faunus and her generous sympathies regarding Nekro.  He supposed he needed to broach the subject eventually...but perhaps a few days' cooldown would be appropriate.  Everyone in the team seemed on edge - no thanks to him and Nekro.  The best option now would be to sit back and wait, or at the very least engage in productive, cooperative behavior.  Robin nodded along to Karmyne's speech, feigning a faint smile to pretend he agreed.  While it was entertaining to see the redhead display a bit of backbone, he found her conclusions wishful at best.<br/><br/><i>I'm <b>nothing</b> like that furry imbecile.<br/>
</i><br/>Still, he held his tongue and waited once Akena spoke up, shuffling a little awkwardly in the library chair while focusing his dispassionate gaze onto his feet.  Robin wasn't used to being put on the spot, especially not with a compliment.  He met Akena's eyes for a brief moment before diverting attention to his shoes, a somewhat anxious expression on his features.  Idle hands found half an uneaten energy bar in his back pocket and Robin idly munched on it while K continued her inspirational speech, thankful to have something to hide his facial expressions.  Yet in a few minutes his crutch had vanished - he would be forced to engage once more with his teammates.<br/><br/>"Sure, I'll send you my schedule so you can see when we're both free," Robin replied, a polite smile on his features as he attempted to project a friendly demeanor.<i>I'll make sure my free time's filled up with lengthy activities or otherwise inconvenient.</i>Truth be told, he had no intention of talking about his personal life or emotions or whatever new-age bullshit people talked about in those meetings.  He'd parrot whatever he thought Akena wanted to hear, feign a smile, and hope for a succinct conclusion.<br/><br/>He finished the energy bar with a few more aggressive bites before casting the crumpled wrapper towards a nearby trashcan, watching in satisfaction as he sunk it perfectly.  Robin wiped the crumbs from his mouth before looking back to Akena.<br/><br/>"We could just divvy up the work along the team lines we established.  We could write the first few sections together than split observations along team lines - you and Nekro could draft your observations, while Shiro, Karmyne, and I draft ours.  Then we could - "<br/><br/>A sharp buzz from his Scroll silenced Robin mid-sentence.  He pulled the thin device from his pocket, eyes narrowing at the message he'd received.<br/><br/><i>Two kilos, 9:00 PM at the usual place.  Bring cash.</i>Robin tapped out a quick response.<br/><br/><i>I'll be there.  Bring product.  <b>Good </b>product.<br/>
<br/>
" - As</i>I was saying, then we could combine our answers, edit the document, and turn it in.  Easy."  Robin slipped his Scroll back into his pocket, worried he might have been a bit<i>too</i>obtuse with his messaging.  Besides, he doubted any of them cared.
