Springlatch would have ignored Pepper's brooding, in given time he figured he could better explain his stance on what makes a good leader a good leader to her. He'd slurp down his tea and pour himself a fourth cup. A shame he wouldn't get a chance to drink it, having essentially returned to his high sprung self. When the yelling started he'd jump, dropping his cup and it would crash to the floor with that glorious liquid spilling across the floor. He'd look down at the mix of broken cup and spilled tea as though it was the worst thing to have happened today and nothing could truly top that "..." looks between Mavolus and Sakura before nodding some "Of course, we'll be careful. Wouldn't have been a scout for so long if I wasn't." he'd say while getting a towel to clean up the mess on the floor.
