[In person]

[Downstairs, in the kitchen, someone's raiding it pretty heavily - there's a sprawl of random bits of canned/prepackaged food, ice cream, and basically anything that doesn't actually need preparation covering half the table.]

[And at the table? There's a thirty-something black-haired lady in a blue dress who ... well, grasps silverware, but

[Xuchilbara enters the kitchen and gives a somewhat baffled blink.]

Eat slower, I don't want you to choke.

[John wanders into the kitchen a little clumsily, like he can't quite remember how to move with anything mildly resembling grace. He pauses in the doorway, looking first at the mess and then at Alessa.]

[The first response was things going dead quiet and still, as she slinks a little down at the table to watch suspiciously - he didn't... she didn't think he was one of the ones that seemed dangerous, but she wasn't sure right now, and it was impossible to tell with people, particularly with her powers suddenly muted.]

[heterosexually]

[When she turns her attention to watching him, John purses his lips a little and raises a hand to wave.]

Uh. Hi?

[afkl;dsjf;as I'm sorry for slow/late/...Alessa.]

[motherofsilence]

[There's edging back slightly at that, maintaining the somewhat suspicious look, with an almost-afterthought cautious wave.]

((AS I realize that part of why I stared at this so long was I kept expecting her to SAY SOMETHING ;_;...this should go faster now... that I"m not being stupid...))
