South had not expected to be greeted by a multitude of faces the instant he seemed to have gotten a break and sat down. He had mostly expected everyone to continue ignoring his presence, though the more he thought about it the more it made sense that they hadn’t. The system would have undoubtedly crashed and burned around them if they allowed any strange face to meander in, even with the permission of one other member.
The first to approach, Hana as she had introduced herself, seemed less interested in him so much as what he carried on him. While otherwise he might have been offended at the thinly veiled excuse, she had been polite enough to not jump straight into asking for some of his tea and instead had addressed his appearance as something new.
“Greetings,” South murmured in reply, leveling her with a thoughtful stare before letting his own lips quirk upwards ever so slightly in some semblance of amusement. “South. I am afraid I did not plan on guests so I did not make any in advance, but you are welcome to wait for me to steep more if you would like?”
The offer was genuine, if a little strained in its hesitance. South was not a man who liked crowds, nor one who had a particular affinity to talking if he wasn’t actively trying. If she expected him to indulge in what seemed to be a rather inquisitive nature, he couldn’t promise her answers to anything she wanted. But the company in and of itself was not unwelcome... of one person, however. Not five.
The moment more strange faces seemed to pop out of seemingly nowhere, South visibly stiffened, the slowly forming smile quick to drop despite himself. The claws of his paws twitched, muscles tense and ready to fight, even as none of them seemed ready to attack, and seemed as innocently curious as Hana had been.
“South. I was recently admitted, a few hours ago to be exact,” the introduction was aimed at the crowd in general, not directed at any particular individual given that their questions seemed relatively similar in nature despite being differently worded on occasion. “It is... a pleasure to meet you all. Hopefully I will not be intruding too much, as I aim to try and pull my weight as much as I am capable of.”
The second creature to have arrived (Dimitri, as he introduced himself now that he came back after what had looked like a minor panic attack) returned, although not empty handed. “Thank you,” South murmured in response despite being well aware of the fact that he already had a drink in hand. “The thought was appreciated, I do not mind. If you wish to drink it I will not mind, either. It would be a waste to have it grow cold.”
// HELL YEAH IT IS also pardon this was rushed because I’m on mobile but I really wanted to reply and didn’t know when I’d get the chance otherwise ;-;
