Just then a Very Large, very white dog hurries down a set of stairs that everyone probably didn't notice. If a dog can look purposeful, this one does. Once she reaches the bottom step she heads straight over to where the strange little group was assembled, as if she were expecting them. She sits herself down in the middle of the group, and looks up at them expectantly.
A few moments later a little boy in overalls came thumping down the stairs. "'nowball! 'now-" When he reaches the bottom of the stairs he notices the strangers and his eyes grow wide. Then he catches sight of Snowball and not taking his eyes off the others he whispers, "'nowball! Dere people down here!!"
This is wierd... but maybe whoever owns the dog can help Hank! He looks up at the others with a raised eyebrow. William shakes his head and Father McCoy gives the dog an odd look. It is Sparhawk who speaks.
"Ah... there are others here?"
This is confirmed by the sudden appearance of the boy. Billy waves a hand.
"Hello! Ah... we won't hurt you. We are all somewhat lost."
In the way that somewhat meant a huge amount of lostness.
Harold steps towards them tenitively, but he looks at Snowball and gains some courage. It's only after he gets closer that he really sees who has spoken to him.
He frowns at Billy and looks at William. "'nowball say you like him but diffwent." He looks at the two closer and then looks at Snowball. "Dey not same," he says skeptically.
Snowball turns her head towards Hank and Harold steps close to him. "Oh! He BWUE!!! ..'n oder colors. Me know him?" Harold frowns again and studies Hank before looking up at Father McCoy. "You Bwue too."

Sparhawk watches them and just sighs. He isnt all that good around kids.
Father McCoy is the one who finally speaks up.
"We came here through portals, or doorways, from some other place. We arent sure how we got here really. But we are very glad for the place to rest."
He pats the bean bag chairs.
"Very comfy."
He realizes he should take his time here, so he breathes and watches the young man carefully.

"Do you have friends here? Ones that are around and you can play with?"
He remembers his own childhood and aloneness.
He smiles a little at Snowball, too.
