Morridan
Spreading salt across the world since 1990
Jace made his way through all of the doors that would let him through, knowing that it would lead him to wherever the other male had directed him to. His movements was swift, powerwalking through much of the distance as he needed, jogging the rest. And as he decided to conserve his energy and walk the rest of the way, he would see one of the doors open and the man's voice echoing from within. He'd slowly slip himself into the doorway. As the two of them were inside 'suiting up' Malcom and getting as fully loaded as possible, they would see a human-shaped shadow slip into the entrance. Jace didn't say much at first, actually sizing the man up as though he were comparing their builds. He noted that the man before him was taller, though only by a few inches. And also that he was leaner. But he also looked to be on guard even as Jace first entered the door. "Well well, Mister Devontess. It seems you take care of yourself. From the ceiling, you seemed smaller." He'd slowly take a step towards him. Then another. Then another. Almost as if he were seeing at what distance the man would react. Jace held his hands out on both sides of himself, though as if he were showing that he meant no harm. But if Malcom could see past the wrinkling of the corners of his eyes that were caused by such a faked friendly grin, his pupils were sharp and focused on Malcom's lower abdominals. Almost like he were waiting to react to Malcom's reactions, if any. "What are you... Left? Or Right handed?" He stopped just short of eight inches from him. A bit too close in the man's personal space to be sure. And so he reached his own left hand outwards as if to shake. Jace's footing was wide. Flat-footed, but knees bent. To be frank, his current footing was like the roots of a tree. And his bent knees would inform him that even with each step he took, he expected to shift his weight to avoid being shanked. It was second nature driven into him by the 'system'.
