On the verge of frowning mightily, Ethan realized things would not work well and stared at Kat and Rain, since they were the ones the girl wanted to go with. The smaller man seemed like an overprotective bodyguard who probably had less than squeaky-clean intentions to top it off, if he wanted to follow two women by himself. In fact, he -did- remember him as the one who had been smooth-talking to the women some time ago and judging from their talk, he had just been hired. Judging from the way he was trying to woo the more naive-looking one...Yeah.
Ethan also decided to help because the idea of handcuffing the overactive girl to someone would probably get him on the line as the chosen victim.
"This is Paprika, and we don't need to be hauled around. We can take care of our own weight, or at the very least I can, and there is no need for payment of any kind." he started. "There isn't much into it except for what she said, strength in numbers. I'm not lost here, but I don't have much of a direction to go either, and the girl doesn't seem quite in her right mind."
"Besides that, I have the impression she'll follow me from now on and she may lose her interest if we travel as a group." he said plainly and with confidence, crossing his arms, noticing the overactive girl was humming a song he knew. Even then, he resisted the temptation of mentioning it for the moment.
