[Nekoda has been in Promenade for hours already, but has dealt with those initial moments of confusion and vulnerability all on his own. Has scouted out his surroundings, the building as well as the rooms he'd woken in, and has skimmed back through several months worth of PORTAL posts. What he's seen there has left him amused, and his smile is not a soft or warm expression.]
What a strange playpen. All these little pigs hiding away, tucked up with their comforts and dreams. Why are you hiding, hm? Was the real world just so awful to you?
[There are traces of what could be concern in his tone, but his phrasing is at odds with it, leaving the whole statement on an unsteady keel, unsettled. He leans forward, closer to the camera.]
I know you're here, Aunt Eden. And your pet, too. Aren't you going to come greet me? [His smile grows wolf-wide and sharp.] I'm sure you have so much to tell me about this place.
