"Rin...this is madness.." Theo groaned, scanning the throng of collective human elbows. Just...elbows. Everyone was throwing them like confetti at a party. He could've sworn he just saw a tooth fly out of someone's mouth. That'd make a lovely ID photo. The treasure hunting man looked more worried by the second, reaching up to touch his face as if to erect an elbow blocking barrier. "I'm pretty sure that old dude with the cane just beaned a five year old to knock her out of line."
The Crystal Swan member just stood back, mouth gaping at the chaos of the line, if it could even still be called that. How would they make it through before the issuers were done for the day? He just had to get one. What kind of treasure hunter didn't have a passport to travel everywhere with? If even Theo was a little intimidated, what must it be like for the small teen he was with? He squared his shoulders, possibly even puffing his chest out as he made up his mind and psyched himself up. "No matter how elbow-y these crazies are, I'll keep your face from getting smashed. Okay?"
