[ Ranger tilts his head when Komaeda looks at him, trying to figure out if he'd said something strange. His language had been shifting. He can compare it and note that he's shifted more of his usual banter with Safalin onto his interactions with Komaeda, and adopted more of the mannerisms that he heard in passing. Maybe it was just unpleasant to hear from him... Ah, well. There was no helping that, given who and what he is.

When he asks his question, Ranger looks at Komaeda as though he'd just asked if there was water in the ocean. But as is always his way, he answers in the simplest and most straightforward way possible. ]

Huh? Why would I? I'd just leave if I didn't wanna be around you. Besides, I don't really like being around a lot of people.

[ Both in the sense of that there weren't many people he actually enjoyed being around and that he didn't like crowded spaces with unfamiliar people. It was easier for him to just deal with one or two people at a time.

He takes a few steps forward as he scans the room, having switched back to the open-mouthed grin by now, before seeming to lock in on one in particular. ]

Huh. Isn't this the one you mentioned before?

[ Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island... Seems to be the right one. ]
