Mortimer gave a respectful bow towards Erika when introduced, noticing how much she had grown since they'd last met, but was too polite to mention it; he knew she was still doing anagathics.

Isaac probably didn't [i]need[/i] a reminder to play it cool and not try to steal anything or engage in shenanigans with anyone he'd meet on [i]her parents' [s]island[/s] [u]planet[/u][/i]. This however, did not mean he was not to show-off and brag; especially towards her sister if she gave a willing ear. During the walk he quietly tried to brainstorm what could possibly impress Erika, or 'E' as 'M' had called her.

Adria on the other hand was thankful for the heads-up that this person was not a servant to be bossed-around like the others, since she was just about ready to hand-toss a large duffel-bag in her direction. Doing her best not to sigh at the lost-opportunity to get out of hauling any of the luggage, she re-adjusted the bag's shoulder-strap and followed.

Mortimer quietly answered in the blind with a hand behind his back indicating several years difference.

Aside from this, the walk was not all too quiet, as the path was filled with onlookers who wanted to catch an up-close glimpse of Mutan's return -and the people she was travelling with these days- even if her stay was only temporary; a matter which her parents would likely wish to discuss in addition to whatever official business they had.

When they finally did reach the main-building, it was of course bigger up-close than it was outside in the distance.
