[Really, if he had his way, he would have been equally pleased to have not acknowledged you at all and be off on his merry way. He knew what sort of situation they were all in, and he knew what confronting another student would mean. And yet here he was, frozen still and making direct eye-contact with the other dude who had a weapon in his mouth.
Not that he was completely unprepared himself. At his side was a moderately sized Viking Sword, although he didn't seem to be handling it properly at all. Despite growing up with a pretty gung-ho family, he never really considered himself much of a fighter.
Maybe that was why, despite the eye contact, despite the stillness that came over both of them, he suddenly found himself turning his head away, singing out to himself despite the shakiness in his voice.]
Ahah! Don't see nothing! Nope! Don't see anything at all! Nothing weird going on in these parts!
[He glanced back quickly, making eye contact once more.]
Lets go for 3!
