Bleeding Red

The man had looked up from his tinkering as the sound of metal with approaching footsteps filled his ears. Setting the two thin pieces of metal down on the removed face plate along with the cybernetic his singular right eye cast toward the approaching sound. His right hand slid off the the table and into his lap, laying over his right thigh while his left arm lay on the edge of the table, folded across infront of him, leaving the litany of scars stretching from hand over to forearm to just before the elbow bare for her eyes to see. Slashes, cuts, tears, impact marks likely belonging to bullets, and burns. Their attire wasn't all that different, what she could see on approach was a form-fitting black-T tucked into a blood splattered brown leather belt with sheathes on his left side for two curved blades, though one was missing, perhaps something to do with the dead cybernetic. Beneath the belt were black pants with the same color boots, seemingly a strapped style though the lack of full visual made it difficult to discern.

His unblinking eye stared, watching her every movement, every step, the posture, listening to the way she spoke. She was a fun lover like him, though well guarded. Which wasn't at all different from the others he'd come across, it added allure. Analytical and observant, though his head did tilt to the side slightly at her comment, very odd, and not something he'd heard before. The "luscious locks" fell over the left side of his face, hiding it from view then down over both shoulders. From up close the seemingly normal hazel eye was revealed to have an odd mutation in pigment, yellow spokes around the iris, like that of a wheel. Unlike back in space, he didn't seem to have much to say. However his voice took on a much different tone when removed from the faulty communication array of his Wolfhound, considerably less growl, a darker, smoother, almost icy voice emerged as his lips parted to reveal an oddity for a rogue, pristine teeth.

"You didn't keep me waiting very long."
