Seemed she was a little off, so he had been right in asking! Only she didn't seem willing to let her weakness show. What a brave kid! Reckless but brave, and smart to boot. Definitely useful, but to what end? He stopped himself before he thought too much further. Isn't that the kind of thinking that got him in trouble back home to begin with? And was still getting him in trouble here? How irritating to have to worry about watching his back after again after thinking he was finally getting over his past.

No no! Can't let himself seem too down either! "I wouldn't say refreshing, but I like to see this had even Landel on his toes." The military officers here were certainly an odd accessory to add to a mental hospital. It started to make him wonder if Landel really was the person he wanted to meet up with, or if there was someone else higher up. Hmm...

"Anyway, been busy lately Miss Asuka? Found out anything--" And then a stranger sat at a chair in rather close proximity of them, killing the tail end of Gant's question. Dammit, there wasn't any privacy anywhere. Well, maybe he couldn't blame the man. He looked pretty wrecked and probably just needed to find an empty seat.

Gant cleared his throat and offered a small wave. "Ehe, hey there." He really wasn't in the mood to be social. If little Asuka wasn't here, he wouldn't have even tried.
