Ahsoka found her way to Paj-Ennea without any trouble--after all, by this point she knew the layout of this compound and it's various locations like the back of her hand. The Force seemed relatively calm at the moment, despite what was already being tended to, and the young padawan learner saw no harm in helping someone bake a dessert. She's promised herself that she'd do her best to uphold the Code while she was here, but there was nothing in the Jedi Codes that forbid this. A rule like that would have been utterly ridiculous, she mused as she stepped up to the door and raised a hand, knocking.

Only then did she realize that she'd forgotten to introduce herself to the girl or ask her name. She winced, feeling rude and hoped her non-human appearance would at least give herself away as the person who'd spoken to her on the comms.

As she heard a knock on the door, Asuka smiled and put down the bowl that she had been mixing this batch of dough in - it was almost ready to go in the fridge for a little while, so that it could chill before it was rolled out and cut into shapes before being cooked - and walked over to the door to answer it.

"Hi there," she greeted the newcomer, taking a note of her non-human characteristics but no more than a note of them. "You're here to help out?"

Ahsoka was relieved to not receive many of the more common reactions to her non-human appearance and smiled at the greeting, nodding her head. She didn't hate humans and near-humans, not in the least, but many of them here were unaccustomed to people like her who were were obviously not of the same species and while she knew that took some adjusting to, there were some who continued to look at her like some sort of monster. She was glad this girl wasn't one of them.

"That's right. I'm Ahsoka Tano, by the way. I'm afraid I forgot to introduce myself earlier. Sorry about that."

Late!response is late, sorry!!!

To Asuka, human or non-human didn't matter, especially right now, especially if everyone was going to survive while they were here. Her brother's beloved was half djinn, after all, and there was a talking wolf somewhere who was kind. What mattered was, really, whether someone was kind, or seeking to hurt others. And as long as one was the first, rather than the second, nothing else mattered.

"That's all right," Asuka replied with a smile. "I'm Tenjoin Asuka, by the way - it's nice to meet you. Come on in." And she made room for her guest to enter.

Ahsoka chuckled silently at how similar this girl's name was to her own, thinking it sounded Togrutan in origin, but knew that such was impossible. Not only was Asuka human, but she wasn't from the galaxy.

She stepped into the apartment, looking around at her surroundings, then back to Asuka. "Hopefully I won't burn your kitchen down. I've never really cooked outside of heating up rations."

Asuka smiled. "That's all right - I picked a simple recipe. I know the basics, but I'm not really all that great a cook." Besides, even if somehow something did manage to catch fire, there was plenty of water available to put it out.
