With the creature thoroughly beaten and scared, Matthias stands in triumph, head tall from the shot of dopamine. It was always fun to do such silly actions, and the more he got to toss something around, the more it boosted his ego. A win-win.
The boost of dopamine was cut short when Roxanne hurled herself into the fray - he watched with wide eyes as she charged after the creature and managed to... actually spot out which one of the duplicates was the right one? Huh. I didn't think she had it in her. And that rush of dopamine continued; Of course, she takes after me. Why wouldn't she be able to spot it? Bright orange eyes turn to Reed as she steps up, her magic noticeably making the creature rise in a supposed attempt to get it out of Roxanne's grasp. He listens to her words as he watches the creature. Oh, hmm, should I have tried to turn this into a life lesson or something? A somewhat distracted glance is taken up at the sky. No one ever really bothered to teach him anything, and he turned out all right. His gaze fully refocuses back onto Reed once the last question is asked.
He wasn't really hungry. That creature was too scaly and dry anyway. Would probably give him bad acne. So he just shrugs, giving Roxanne full power over the decision. If it does give her bad acne, live and let learn, right? "If you just arrived here, how did you know it was called a Duplispozard?" he asked Reed, wondering if there was someone, a resident perhaps, who was giving her this information. It would certainly be convenient to have connections around here.
