Well at least that swinged the mood away from dread. While half of your allies begin jabbing and insulting each other in what you can only hope is in a friendly jesting way, you turn your attention to Adam and Benedict.
"You know, Benedict, I gotta point out that new power you have is cute."
"HUH. WHAT DO YOU MEAN. I DO not see how REFINMENET is all that adorable." Benedict tilts his head like a confused bird seeing a shiny new toy.
"C'mon. He's a mechanic, you can refine stuff, it's obvious. You picked it to help him, huh? Aren't you charming."
Benedict blinks a few times as if he's trying to process your words. A neon red blush immediately coats the human half of his face. "Shut up shut up it's not like that SHUT UP." He immediately focuses all of his attention and energy on stuffing a massive hunk of lamb down his throat.
"Hey, hey, calm down." Adam tries his best to calm down his friend with gentle pats on the back. "Chew." He snaps his gaze over to you with a sneer.
"Hey, it was just a joke! After everything that I said before, I thought it was warranted."
"Yeah, yeah, just be careful next time. You know how sensitive his mood can be." Once Benedict isn't trying to choke on a pile of meat, Adam (and soon Benedict) do crack their own smiles. "It is nice, though, Benedict."
"thank you." Benedict manages to choke down the lamb leg he was eating. "I do not wish to be a burden. That is the reason I picked it."
[CAPTAIN'S COMMAND] How heartburning. Imagine letting another one influence who you are.
[UNSTABLE] SHUT UP YOU'RE LITERALLY TRAPPED IN OUR HEAD, KEK.
[CAPTAIN'S COMMAND] Trapped is a bit of an exaggeration.
"C'mon. You're not a burden. No one here is." Adam comforts his friend.
"Oh, right, while I got your attention Adam. I imagine your name is gonna spread once this incident. You think you're going to be ready for the extra attention?"
"Of course I am." He responds with no hesitation in his voice. "And I imagine a certain SOMEONE is more than willing to HELP, RIGHT?" He's staring down Otto like he owes him something.
Otto is too busy chugging down a bottle of whiskey to hear what Adam said.
"I said. I IMAGINE. A CERTAIN BRONZE HAIRED MAN. WOULD BE WILLING TO HELP."
It takes until Otto finishes the whole damn bottle to even say anything. "Help with what? We're-"
"WITH MY NAME BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED HERE!!!" For a moment you swear Adam's hair was about to ignite on fire from sheer fucking annoyance.
"oh yeah sure uhhhh i'll think of something...later." Otto grabs another bottle of whiskey, cracks it open, and begins to chug straight from it. Adam sighs at the sight of this but he shrugs it off. "Yeah, we'll figure something out, it'll be fine. I've dealt with worse."
"FUCK YOU!" "FUCK YOU!" Ah, Maruyama and Frank are having some 'fun'. Best to break it up.
"Hey, Maru."
"FUCK Y- Oh, hey, Nicole! What's up?" Frank, seeing that he can't yell at Maru anymore, turns his attention back to his food.
