Independent Study [Open]

Rez, by chance, glanced down at his landing spot in time to notice the stranger that appeared to be waiting for him. He suddenly stopped in midair before floating down gently, frowning as he got a good look at the individual. Definitely not human, that much was obvious just by looking at him. Was he an alien? Or maybe a demon like Apollyus. However, any musings about this gentleman's species were quickly quashed by questions about his power level. Rez visibly tensed when he got a read on the man's power. Holy hell, he was stronger than himself or Apollyus by several degrees. Hemade sure to land a fair distance away, far enough to run if it turned out that this guy was, in fact, hostile. 

Sesame would find the falling individual to be a young boy of about fourteen, dressed in simple, loose clothing suited for the hot climate. The boy seemed to be making a concerted effort to cover all the skin below his chin, judging by how the clothing was arranged. "Can I help you?" He asked, still tense. He had no real poker face, and when looking at someone who was at least six times more powerful than he was, it was especially hard to keep himself cool. "If this is your training spot, sorry, I was just about to leave." He added, thinking maybe that was it. This was a popular training ground, it stood to reason fighters had carved out their own spots.

If this guy was trying not to be suspicious, he was failing at it miserably. Typically, one would think that outright saying that they were looking for a place to hide was kind of a bad idea, though if he was as strong as this guy was Rez might not be so cautious either. Of course, he had the advantage of the demon not knowing his own power level. He had seen him fly but that wasn't a clear indicator of power. All that said Rez would like to avoid any kind of altercation with him. "There's Taola village." He said, pointing out in the direction of the small town where he had been staying. "Folks are nice there... as long as people don't bring trouble with them."

He would be an utter hypocrite if he judged someone else for being on the lamb, and he certainly wasn't going to pry into the demon's personal affairs provided they weren't going to hurt him or the people of the village he had made his temporary home. However, he did want to make it clear that he had a personal investment in keeping the sleepy little desert town safe. He didn't fashion himself a superhero or a protector just because some maniacs had shoved mechanical parts in his body. However, he had long come to the conclusion that he wanted to do something worthwhile with the power at his disposal.

Sesame's face didn't ring a single bell for Rez, though to be fair he had spent the last two years in a box and the time before that was fuzzy at best. It was no wonder that any faces from the television wouldn't have made the tight cut for the memories he retained of his time before being made into an android. What he did know is that this guy was dangerous, but at the same time, what could he do? The guy could probably blast him away with a flick of his wrist. He believed in doing the right thing, but not when he had no chance of getting out of it alive. For now better to just do as the man said and keep an eye on him, rather than force the issue and risk getting hurt- or worse. "Sure, right this way." He said, then considered for a few moments before adding. "It'll be a lot quicker if we fly. If you don't mind me asking, are you a demon?" He wasn't accusatory in his tone, simply asking as a matter of curiosity. He was getting the same vibe off of this guy that he got off of Apollyus, though granted Apollyus was considerably weaker than the demon currently standing before him. He just wanted to confirm as much info as he could in case it came in handy later.
