As Rayne leaned nearer to him, Dai instinctively inched backwards, bumping lightly into the doorframe behind him, a light blush forming in his face, not only from embarrassment (which doubled when he heard what he took as an off handed compliment) but also from nervousness given the situation. He'd watched car after car pull up and more people, nearly all strangers to him, make their way up onto the porch... "Everyone?" he mumbled, dwelling on that word for a moment, unsure if he should be especially cross or flattered by the... especially friendly stranger.

He sighed lightly and attempted to regain his composure, taking his hands from his face though it still betrayed him, displaying his mixed emotions in both color and expression. Dai smiled, it was an awkward smile but pleasant despite, and he did his best to seem optimistic even with his growing concerns for the situation. "Well, since you're all here I guess that's that then..." he did his best to address everyone at once, "I'm Dai" (though the spelling was left up to individual consideration), "oh and um, welcome, I guess." He stifled a quiet laugh, it was uncomfortable and awkward and genuine but not unfriendly, only then did he look around and notice everyones belongings.

"Oh come inside, erm, we'll figure out rooms in a second I'm sure you're all tired?" He shrugged, giving another awkward smile, which had been present on and off throughout his little speech, and he turned to move further into the entry room, mindful of his other guest, whom may or may not still be resting. He'd noticed Faith among the group, but was much too distracted to be even remotely social just yet... nervous was a better word, he was very, very nervous.
