(I'll presume this happened shortly after Ran has taken a seat at the table, if that is acceptable?)
Just as he was about to really get into his novel and finally get a chance to unwind after sodding days being trapped on a boat on the high sea (the cruel bastard!), the unmistakable voice of a youngster girl interrupted his revere, causing a vein in forehead to throb and him to nash his teeth a bit.
'Didn't I tell these runny nose whelps here to kept their heads out of my business, or are they actually concussed?! Grrr.......well, I show her the consequences of not listening to your elders![/i]'
With those incensed thoughts bubbling away through his hot head, Ran placed his cup of cocoa and book on the table with deliberate calmness, before spinning around in a flash to face the girl that was disturbing him, his face already tighten by a smoldering glare as he got ready to lite right into her sorry hide....!
It was then that he got a look at her and general demeanor (particularly her eyes), which caused his expression to collapse first to slight surprise, then neutral observation as he continued to gaze at the misses, frowning as he scrutinized every single inch of her.
After a minute or two of doing this (and Karen not leaving in the interim), the stout shorty finally decided to give a response, keeping his hands to himself by crossing them to his chest.
"Randolph. What business do you have with me? If it's a battle you want, you can buzz of like a Mothem, 'cause I am not in the mood for one right now."
His tone was curt, but not overly unkind. Considering his apparent demeanor, that's rather remarkably restrained of him! Perhaps Karen's manners and her own uniqueness pacified him somewhat?

Like the wind, I come and go as I please... but I am always there to provide a comforting breeze.
