*he's not quite trying to hide, but he's certainly not doing anything to make his presence more noticeable; he is, in fact, sitting in a corner of the main room, a thick, beaten-up textbook balanced on his knees -- he's distracted by carefully thumbing through the pages, though he's skimming it more for the comfort than to actually learn, and he's

*beams, because hooray, it's more pseudo-family!* Hi, Asher. How've you been?

[wakethemorning]

*-- does brighten slightly when he sees her, because really, does anyone not like Rain?* Rain, hello. I -- think I've been lonely. Everyone's been gone. *slight, sheepish smile*

[invertedtoo]

*grins; people don't like Rain when she's teasing them >___> -- but Asher probably hasn't really experienced much of that* Well, you're in luck now because everyone's here. It's kind of crazy, if fun.

[wakethemorning]

*tilts his head slightly again, faintly curious* It can be both?

[alittlesoon]

*well, he certainly doesn't look scary -- and being on the laptop for too long has cramped up Elijah's hand, so now he's looking for something to distract him-- so he'll peer at the book Asher's currently flipping through* Hi. Um, what are you reading?

[wakethemorning]

*after a moment's hesitation, he'll hold up said book for inspection -- it's a ridiculously thick tome on psychology, actually* Hello. This. It's interesting.

[alittlesoon]

*looks at it really interestedly; even though psychology isn't his field, he still adores the sciences* It -- looks like it. Um-- I'm Elijah, by the way.

[wakethemorning]

*smiles faintly at that, because he likes it when people appreciate his field* I'm Asher. It's -- good to meet you. *firmly, because really, it's impossible to be afraid of Elijah*

[shinetoguideyou]

*he's going to get flopped next to right away, then, and hugged -- gently but with clear enthusiasm* Asher! I was wondering if you'd be here, I'm so happy you're here so soon. *beams*

[wakethemorning]

*hugs back, of course, probably a little more tightly, and -- well, she gets the brightest, happiest smile of anyone, which -- really, he does have the genes for very bright, happy smiles* Apphia. I'm glad you're here. I missed you.

[shinetoguideyou]

I'm sorry -- I've only arrived here recently, and it certainly seems interesting so far, but -- I'm definitely glad you're here too, it'll be so much better now that you are. *further beaming, yes* I hope you're doing well.

[wakethemorning]

*clearly for him, her smile is infectious, as -- he's still smiling rather brightly* I think I am. I haven't met anyone to prove Rain's description of this place as "crazy" yet, anyway.

[thecolorsisee]

*sits in front of him, cross-legged, and doesn't actually say anything, just looks at him*

[wakethemorning]

*...looks a little wary and a little curious, and -- so he'll tilt his head slightly further, questioning*

[thecolorsisee]

Hello.

[wakethemorning]

*cautiously* Hello. Did -- can I -- help you?

[theonetodoit]

*tilts her head to one side* Hi there. What are you reading?

[wakethemorning]

Hello. *smiles faintly and holds the book up dutifully -- yes, as discussed, it's something thick and well-worn and on the subject of psychology*

[theonetodoit]

Excellent. I mean, I've never been a real student of psychology, but it's fascinating stuff.

[wakethemorning]

*a slightly brighter smile* I've always thought so.
