[Upon seeing the familiar redhead step into the bathroom, Luke's eyes immediately widened. A look of relief filled his expression.] Gaara... [...and then, within one second, flat, he's frowning. Hard. The whole reason Luke's even here is because he'd come looking for him. He'd had Ion helping him find out where the ninja had run off to...
...Go figure he'd had the same idea as the Thief, in responding to the request for help. Kind of. He wouldn't have just rushed off, damn it.]
Hey... [Stepping towards the White Mage, he does nothing to hide that he's...a little pissed.] You could've told me you were coming here, you know! [And then he's muttering in a much lower tone, a bit of a grumble escaping with those words.] You had me worried...
[Thanks to the whole thing with people turning into crystals, he can't help but worry a little more. Then, he's blinking as he recalls they're not...alone. Turning towards the others, he speaks with his arms folded over his chest.]
Uh... sorry. [Since right now is not the time for soap opera drama? all that.] By the way, my name's Luke. This is Gaara. [He says that while putting a hand on the ninja's shoulder. To the one who mentioned the idea for a formation.] Actually, I think it might be best if we create a triangle formation. The strongest of us would travel in the front, and then the second strongest would walk behind those who are strictly magic users, ranged fighters, ...or simply not the fighter-type. That way, the ones with the weakest defense aren't left vulnerable to an attack, from behind.
[Lowering his arms to his sides, he looked to the one in the sink.] Maybe you could travel towards the front, but behind the strongest fighters. That way, you're protected while you work.
[To the one mentioning the moogles, he gives a nod.] If they're not comfortable with that, I don't mind going. I'm not physically strong, but I'm part of the Thief Class, so I'm pretty sure I can move quick enough to be able to avoid being seen. [He smiles, softly, wondering how Ion's holding up without knowing where he is.] That's just a suggestion, though...
