[color=gray]	Charlotte was quick to embrace him, sweeping him into the second hug he'd experienced that day. It was not a bad thing, not really. It was embarrassing, for sure, but not bad. He exhaled in mock-defeat and returned the hug, if only for the breath of a moment. He had almost forgotten how nice it was to be cared for, these moments of kindness were few and far between with his parents. 

	"[color=7685C9]A'right, a'right,[/color]" he says, waving her off playfully. "[color=7685C9]It's good to see you, Charlotte. It's been awhile.[/color]" The smile he offers her when he says this is a vast improvement from the near-constant scowl he has long-since perfected. However, this smile lasts about as long as the hug did. "[color=7685C9]You're going to be seeing a lot of me, my parents have decided to dump me here.[/color]"

	He's very quickly distracted by the sound of Lorenzo shouting to Mayet. It's not exactly proper, not really that [i]he's[/i] ever been one for propriety. There's a certain way that one must carry themselves when dealing with nobility, he's had a long time to put [i]some[/i] type of effort into that.

	Astonishingly, it seemed that Lorenzo had not.  

	Moreso, he's bothered by the fact that the Lady seemed to be accompanied by a tiger who looked as if it took even [i]less[/i] kindly to Lorenzo's boldness. Devan was not one to be deterred by animals but he was willing to make an exception for especially large cats. He averted his gaze politely so it did not seem as if he was openly gawking at her and instead focused on the sound of Charlotte trying to direct the group away from the chaos. He nodded to her and fell in step behind her, eager to be as [i]far[/i] away from any more of that as he could possibly get. 

	It wasn't that he couldn't [i]appreciate[/i] a train wreck for what it was, but it was for the best that he didn't spend his first day here participating in said train wreck. [i]Wouldn't my parents [b]love[/b] that?[/i]

	"[color=7685C9]Seems like it's been a chaotic day,[/color]" he notes, "[color=7685C9]S'it always this bad? Or did I just shoot for a bad arrival time?[/color]" 

	There's a note of humor to his tone that nearly masks his concern entirely. [i]Nearly[/i]. If Charlotte was dealing with this on the daily, he wasn't certain he envied her.
