The guy smiles a bit at Adam. "Nice to meet ya, dude. I'm Rex."
As Jessica hands him her camera, he hands it back to her. "Not to sound like a dick, but I need an actual copy to write stuff on. I'm a bit forgetful at times, and I like writing on maps when I go into new dimensions." He notes her staring at him for a moment and stares back with a blank face. After a few moments, he blushes and looks away "...A little early... to be checking some dude out, don't you think, Doc?" Ness calmly rises up to her feet, still holding Echo. "Then I believe we should try to find some odd job to do around the city, if anyone's still here. If we're still trying to go to the Wild Lands, we need to make sure we can travel around this nation and we'll need credits."
Rex just shrugs at Athena as he turns to her. "Alright then, miss, if you insist. Let's start this partnership off right then." He extends his bandaged right arm forward. "I'm Rex, a striker. Your name?"
Rex shrugs a bit as he points to Ness. "It was a joke, but I'm talking about Fedora here." Ness promptly bops him again. "Argh... Dammit, Ness. Stawp!"
"You should at least try to refer to be as Ness, rather than Fedora, you know. I'm still your boss even if we aren't in the lab right now."
"Whatever... it's easier to say."

"FFF- Alright fine, Neeeess."
