"I'm alright..." Dai muttered, rubbing the back of his head unintentionally as he opened the front door fully and slid a previously concealed screen into place. Stealing a glance into the living room he checked to make sure his laptop wasn't snapped in half or anything... but it looked fine, so he turned back to the girl and, albeit reluctantly, took a seat on the small couch adjacent to her in the entry room. "I assume you're one of Faith or Raven's friends? Oh erm, I'm Dai. D - A - I." he spelled quickly but not harshly. They talked for some time at length about nothing in particular, mostly the general details of her trip... all small talk that followed the awkward explanation that Raven hadn't yet arrived.
The world turned on outside, and as they talked the sky got a little darker still.
