Paashi gave a grin as he heard how Childes confirmed that, not only was a workspace and materials provided, but it was open at all hours. No more working with half-rusted pieces of discarded metal, at least, not here. A soft [color=da9100]“Yes!”[/color] and a pump of his fist was the response he gave. As the newcomers arrived, and Paashi relaxed after nearly pulling out a spell grenade in surprise, he looked over the group carefully. They struck him as incredibly dangerous people, armed like reavers and likely with the skill to back it up, from how they carried themselves. Looking around, he wasn’t the only person who figured they were dangerous. From the staff to his colleagues, it seemed that acknowledging them as a potential threat was nearly unanimous. Still, this was the Eon Tower, after all. The people here were supposed to be dangerous in one way or another. Paashi watched as the dwarf lady stepped forward to look after at least one member of the staff, the head of the kitchens. And the other gentleman… Damian, was is? Stepped forward and asked if they’d been invited. The reptilian Bellua didn’t step forward to look over the new arrivals, most of whom appeared to also be Bellua. He erred more on the side of caution, taking a step back as the others stepped forward. The tense air made Paashi think more of a hostage situation than a friendly welcome to the Eon tower. Seeing as he had no idea what these people were going to do, Paashi decided that being prepared was better than being caught off-guard, and brought his hand over to one of his scant few Void spell grenades. Better to create distance fast and assess if something happened.
