Krieg's not a particularly fashionable guy - typically, pants are pants and shoes are shoes - but he's also not totally blind. He knows a crime against man and nature when he sees one. And now that his new buddy has drawn attention to them, he sees two such crimes, one on each of the guy's feet.

This is definitely on the same level as Commander Socks. Possibly even lower. Maybe this guy knows Morrison.

In the near distance, Hermes squawks questioningly - he doesn't hear you following, Krieg!

Oh, well. He's less worried than he once was that Hermes will run away one day and never come back, but it's still a tiny, niggling concern in the back of his mind. It would have been interesting to have another running buddy, but the Hawlucha waits for no one.

"Mnn. Next time!"

With the shoujo manga character intro scene complete (even including the two not exchanging names, awww!), Krieg takes off after his 'mon.
