Jase didn't flinch as the sound of company hit him. Instead he stood to full height, tucking away his contraption before the newcomer could set eyes on it. Jase felt much taller here. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but so far things just seemed... Right. Jase turned to stare at the military man before thrusting his hands into his pockets, instinctively trying to point out a lack of hostility, ready to speak on even ground.<br/><br/>"I apologise, sir, I do not." He spoke cooly, collected despite the situation. Things wouldn't move along unless he played along, so he just kept analysing the soldier's movements. "Though I'm sure it has something to do with these." His arm reached out, widely gesturing to the shimmering portals.<br/><br/>Jase flashed a grin, an oddly elongated canine peeking through it. He hadn't meant it to be malicious, but one could only derive wrongness from a smile so devoid of actual emotion. It had been a long time since Jase had needed to hold a conversation. It was obvious that it wasn't his string point.<br/><br/>Once again, Jase let his hands fall into his pockets, his hair falling to frame his face nicely while his rather disconcerting grin receded. "I'd say we would have to... Choose, one of them. Wouldn't you agree?" Jase let his words hang in the air. He gave a clear impression of being well spoken. He was almost devoid of an accent, but his English nationality could easily be detected by the more attentive listener.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
