What. WHAT? He stared utterly dumbfounded at the Asian. Walter wasn't stupid. As much as he'd have loved to run around on his own taking on a hunter was a challenge even he could understand was not going to work out in his favour.
He watched with a lifted eyebrow and a tinge of jealousy as Maxwell went clinging on to the pirate's arm. It was rather confusing to Walter that everyone seemed to think he was leaving all of a sudden. He wanted to toss out a snarky comment back at the pirate for trying to sound like some bloody American superhero making a speech about sacrifice, however Maxwell's friendship was on a higher priority level so he won the reply - and even a cheeky grin to go with it. “Of course we're going on an adventure. Never said I was leaving.” Jerking his thumb at Heng Walter said in the most matter of fact tone “Asian man said he wanted to reach me so I gave him my number.”

Heng's tone of voice left little room to argue and the nervous housemaid sighed in relief. They weren't splitting up, thank goodness. She'd have been a real burden on whoever would've been stuck with her. Or maybe they'd have just left her here. She wouldn't' blame them, she wasn't the best at this type of thing. Suddenly she recalled the question she'd been asked about leaving with them, but Maxwell had kind of interrupted a lot of things by showing up randomly. Should she answer now? Would it be rude to bring it back up? Was it ruder to not mention her response at all. She fretted silently on her choices until a flash of movement caught her attention once again.
Sienna recoiled away, completely on reflex from Heng as Maxwell moved to ensnare him, sloshing his liberated ice cream droplets around. Her gold eyes flicked down to the melting dairy product on the brick walkway where she had stood only seconds before. The last thing she wanted to do was get sticky before they even entered the park. She shifted her gaze back to Walter and then looked to the ground. She'd feel awkward trying to answer a question now long passed. Besides, this boy probably didn't actually care anyway. She didn't know his name and was afraid to ask at this point assuming she'd already made a bad impression. Kids had never liked her much. She was too reserved, too quiet. Too boring. So she continued to hover in the near background while keeping an eye on Maxwell's ice cream.

Heng made a face, but sighed, resigned to his fate of pesterdom by the Rainbow and the child. He looked over at Sienna, and nodded.
"When I said 'reach' I meant it in a physical yet still somewhat of figurative way. This is too figurative," he said dully, holding up the sheet of paper. "But I suppose it could be useful to hang on to, so thank you."
He re-positioned his Ji, switching to his free not clung on hand.
"Uh.. Sienna, when and where exactly does your Reap order take place?" Heng asked, turning his head to look at her who was standing behind him now. "We should make haste if I am to ah, change my outfit?"
...
Wait who was Bunny supposed to be?

Walter sighed. This man was not going to be very fun to go around with. He acted so...old. The lady on the other hand... he stared blankly at her. She looked like the most common theme park tourist if he ever saw one.
He inched over to Maxwell while the Asian asked her about the reap order “What does Sisi do at HQ? I feel I have seen her somewhere but she's just so.....” common? invisible? casting another glance at her to find the word he settled with "...mundane."

Oh! That was good. For a minute there, Maxwell was certain His little Bunny wanted to hop away and split up the team! That wouldn't have been any fun at all. not when they could run rampant in Disney land TOGETHER.
"Sisi's just a little normal," Maxwell excused, teetering his cone with a so-so hand gesture. "She likes to clean a lot. Has the cutest little dress. It's got a skirt this long, and puffy sleeves that pinch, and cute little doll shoes. They're kinda heavy though--" Maxwell shook his hips and stomped his feet as he described Sienna's Maid outfit. "--you should see her when she's made. She makes the scariest face ever." Maxwell snickered and mocked an angry expression akin to What Sienna often used when she welled at him.

Sienna watched the trio impassively from the side where it was safe from ice cream and other potentially messy projectiles until Heng addressed her with a question. "O-oh um... it says the Haunted M-mansion and the time is in a c-couple hours or so." Sometimes reap orders were pretty understandable. But in places like this it could get rather wild. And the locale did not sound fun either. A Haunted Mansion? That meant some dark, scary place to her.
"Yes we s-should hurry." She replied to his insisting they should start going. His speech was so formal. And while her own tended to lean in that direction it was still funny but she managed to keep her amusement off of her face. It would be rude to laugh at him.
Besides her attention was diverted as she noticed the boy was sending her looks while talking to Maxwell. Were they talking about her?! Eyes wide with apprehension she choose to walk away and towards the gates at a nervous, but fast pace. She had enough bad thoughts about herself, she didn't need to hear someone else's, particularly her own teammate. Not that her eccentric roomie had ever said a bad word towards her. But she had to wonder what he really thought since most of their time together was spent with her wanting to murder or maim him in some fashion.

Heng nodded, and turned to the child.
"You said that you were our Pathfinder, correct? We now require your due diligence to help us navigate this very large theme park," he said, gesturing with his free hand. After he had addressed Walter, he looked down over at the Rainbow sternly.
"I will be the one who engages in any and all Hunters should the need arise, and there will be no taking of them to castles. Any. Castles." he said in a low voice.

Maxwell held the taller mans one eyed stare for a long time, slowly licking at his ice cream with a lopsided smile. Humming suddenly in acknowledgement of the demand, Maxwell shoved his ice cream in Hengs face, and danced away with his Yo-yo whirling in tow. "Eye-eye, captain. We'll take 'em to the brig, then. Have it your way~"

The haunted house? Walter felt a tingle of joy. Maybe they might even run into a real ghost there if they were lucky.
"Oh, yes, I have seen her before." Snickering at his friend's mocking angry face he glanced at her again "I remember she chased you with a mop through the hallways once."
The stern tone of the Asian man's voice drained Walters smile off his face. You talk to me like I am a bloody three year old. "My name is Walter and I know how to do my job codger." If this old man hadn't told him he was going to protect them, meaning he'd be a bodyguard, Walter would have put him down as a bookkeeper. They were always such sticks in the- splat - a part of Maxwells ice cream made it onto Walters face as the rainbow man merrily danced away with his yo yo. He watched for a moment as the ice cream dripped from it's placement on the Asian's face. Then he laughed.
It was good to have Maxwell there. He always made going to places fun even when things were not the best of days. Grabbing on to the Asian's sleeve he followed Maxwell with a cheeky laugh of someone up to no good "Don't worry blind bat, I'll lead you on your way!" looking over his shoulder he used his free arm to beckon at the girl. "Let's go Sisi!"

Since Sienna had already started walking she'd missed the inevitable meeting of Maxwell's ice cream cone and Heng's poor face. But once she reached her destination she glanced back to see the fiasco with a small squeak of surprise. What n earth? The other two were coming her way and the samurai well, was creamed. It was funny and it wasn't so she just covered her mouth to smile behind it slightly while she dug out a handkerchief to hand to the now messy person. "Here."

Heng took Sienna's handkerchief without a word, wiping the ice cream off.
"Thank you. I'll return it to you once I clean it," he said evenly, tucking it away somewhere. Then, he looked down at the Child, and gently pulled him off of his arm with a sigh.
He stepped forward, long strides until he caught up with the Rainbow, and cut him off, standing in front of him.
"If you do not understand the gravity of a reap order, especially one where Hunters are likely to appear, I will not permit you to come with us. As of now, your lives are my responsibility, and I will not allow you to foolishly put them into danger because some on this team can not take their duties seriously," he growled, face still rather calm looking for a man who just got ice creamed in the face.
Although he was actually starting to become angry, he knew that this attempt at reigning them in would likely not be successful. He just wanted to get this over with. Why is this so difficult.
"This is not a joke. This isn't supposed to be fun. There are times when one can relax, and there are others when one has to treat their roles with respect and honour. If you can not differentiate those times, you will only endanger those around you, and in a team that is unacceptable and selfish."
ya'll are so mean to Heng he's just a really old man //single tear //looks into distance

Maxwell stopped on a dime when Heng cut him off, nearly stepping on the mans toes. Though maybe he should have. The man had such big feet--Maxwell could have hitched a ride! His attention only lasted a short time on his oppressors feet though. Heng was rattling off something drab about hunters and duties and filling his ears with an irritating buzz. Not quite meeting Hengs eyes, Maxwell flashed a thin lipped smile, humming as if in contemplation. A steady, rhythmic flick and snap of his wrist the only movement at his side as he kept his Yoyo spinning. Even as he gave a mighty shrug, laughing at the man scolding him. "Speak for yourself, Captain. I'm just here for the show."

Walter felt a bit confused that he got shoved off the Asian man. First he complained that the phone number was too figurative for staying together and now all of a sudden he didn't want Walter to be physically close? What does this guy even want? The irritable mood flared back up again as he watched the man go to cut off Maxwell.
Not supposed to be fun? NOT FUN? He pulled out a pout in the most displeased manner. “Don't worry. It is clearly not ever going to be any fun working with you.” Oh how he hated when these so called important people kept getting in the way of making the job enjoyable. Really, what was the point of going to a new place and not have any fun while they were there? At least Maxwell had enough sense to enjoy the location.
"About endangering others....aren't you the most obvious problem here showing up in the wrong outfit with the worlds biggest weapon?" Walter scoffed at the Asian man ash he walked past him. "Honestly, let us just get you a shirt, do the job so you can go be a stick in the mud somewhere else while we enjoy the worlds largest theme park."
----------------------------------------------------------------
My child has no patience with things that is not adventurous...any other day he might have been nice to Heng and named him the mighty pirate of the HQ...//cries knowing there is now a very little chance of the cute image of Walter using Heng as lookout post by sitting on his shoulders being a canon thing

What had been kind of comical had turned into a tense, uncomfortable situation. Sure the two whimsical members weren't exactly showing any restraint, but neither was the samurai and she found herself now lodged between a rock and a hard place. The boy obviously was outraged with Heng and she could only assume Maxwell wasn't too keen on him either, what with the ice cream in his face. She was hesitant though to step in at a first since the kid had already given off the vibe that she wasn't wanted around either. Her gold eyes flicked from each member of her temporary team and back before finally she spoke up, her stutter noticeably worse in the midst of the tension as she fixed her gaze on the samurai first.
"W-w-we s-should um g-get your s-s-shirt f-f-first. A-and as l-long as w-we get t-there a l-little e-early it's o-okay f-for them to h-h-have fun." Her hands were fisted into her shirt as she fought to finish her statement so she could shut-up and stop bothering them. Swallowing hard she looked to the Walter and Maxwell. "J-just s-stay close, p-p-please. W-we don't want anyone g-getting hurt or l-left behind. A-after... a-after... we're done, we c-can do m-more."
Casting her eyes to her feet she managed to stutter out one last request. "S-so please, no fighting? W-we have to be... on our g-guard?" And they couldn't if her party was at odds with each other before they even got started. She had no desire to die, again. And even less of one to see anyone else do so.
She thought this was a fair arrangement. Until they got there and they needed to get the job done there was no need to run them so hard. And Heng's less than jovial attitude would of course cause friction with the more free spirited types. And she was just stuck in between, wanting to get it all over with. She'd come here kind of looking forward to seeing the park but it would be hard to enjoy this trip at all with things the way they were. That was without including the reap order into the madness.

Heng growled. He actually growled.
He's dealt with this type before. There's just no talking sense into them. A child having that mindset was one thing but.. the Rainbow should hardly be put on the same level as the literal child. Guess his job is going to potentially be a lot harder than he had anticipated.
He turned away, sighing deeply. He's going to drink so much tea when he got back to headquarters. He might actually complain to Lee about his woes. He might actually have to stoop to that level.
"Alright," he said after a long silence. "Just be careful," he said through grit teeth.
He turned to look back at Sienna. He was glad that she was here. He would not be able to deal with the Rainbow and the child by himself. She was visibly uncomfortable, and Heng glanced around a bit awkwardly before sighing again.
"Apologies Miss," he said. "Let's get moving then."
these four working together is a hot mess and i love it
props to sienna for dealing with the other three pfffft
