Like the others in attendence, Xander did his best to pay close attention to as the Triumvirate member spoke. . . but he'd be lying if he wasn't just a bit bored by the whole thing. Like, he understood it was a big deal and all, but couldn't they just wrap this up already? Just standing in one place listening to some famous lady talk wasn't really his ideal vision of how his adventure was going to start. . . then again, neither was heading off without Mallory, so he was 0 for 2 as far as expectations went.

Fiddling with the hem of his cloak, Xander almost missed his name being called by the blindfolded Triumvirate member, but Sei was quick to get his aytention with a tailsmack to his Tamer's rear. The resulting yelp drew the attention of a few others nearby as Xander glared at the smiling Mythari before going to collect the PDA and meet with his assigned group. As he walked, his eyes scanned the crowd to see if any other Xanite's were present among them, but his gaze found none of them as he passed. After collecting the PDA, he made his way to the addressed area, fiddling hopelessly with the device as Sei hovered overhead. He had bever been great with technology, but given that this device was the gey to him getting free cash every week, he couldn't just ignore it like usual.

[i]Mallory would've understood this stupid thing.[/i] He grumbled internally as he pressed a few more buttons before deciding to hell with it and packing the device away in his bag. He could figure out the stupid thibg later, right now he had impressions to make. With the PDA stowed, Xander slowed his pace as he walked uo to the others, noting that none of them were really that close to his age. For a moment, Xander wondered if he should take of his cloak, perhaps try and stand a bit straighter, but he dismissedvthe thought with a shake of his head. It's fine, he could make friends with people besides just Mallory. He could chat, could hang, could. . . do stuff. He just had to be cool, play things by ear, and just be nice. It should be fine. . . right?

Shaking his head and taking a deep breath to calm his nerves, Xander step up to them all with a big grin on his face and one hand held up to shake anybody's hand.

"Sup! Name's Xander and this is my buddy Sei," At this point Sei would let iut a small croaking sound as it landed besides him, as if to draw attention to himself. "So, uh, what about you guys?"
