Alex growls at the staff member when they move closer. ”Touch me and I’ll make sure you never see the light of day.” His tone was aggressive and intimidating, as if he needed it to make anyone feel threatened. In his own world just his mere presence would make nearly anyone cower in fear. Even if they seemed calm, you could practically sense it.
Alex tries to cut his restraints with the sharp crystal growing on his arms, but the restraints neither break nor loosen. This only aggravates him more, which gives him a look from Tseth. With that look, Alex almost completely calms down. It was odd. As if they were speaking to each other without words.

Tseth tilts his head at Pandora. He understood her singing. How did she know their language? Was she also a dark dragon? If she was, she’d have recognized him. At the very least give a damn about his presence. He’d confront her, but later. He then makes eye contact with Resh, the man wearing the cape. Tseth didn’t like his attitude. “Something you want to say to me?”

The staff member tilts their head at Alex, and says nothing. They continue to watch him until he seems to calm down completely, then they step back to their original spot.

Resh looks back over at Tseth, raising his eyebrows slightly. “Not necessarily. Although I could say that your presence is a bit irritating. And while I’m at it, so is your voice. So I’d prefer it if you stopped talking to me.” He tilts his head, now staring Tseth directly in the eye. Shut up, please.

Pandora closes her eyes and taps her foot as she sings, clearly pretty distracted now. She stays pretty quiet, though, so she doesn’t irritate anyone. Not that it mattered to her, it would just be annoying to listen to anyone’s complains.

Tseth leans forward to Resh, staring him down. “You know nothing of irritating presence.” As he stares at Resh, he starts to… change. Not physically, but on a mental level. Anyone looking at him receives a deep weight in their chest, as if they were looking at their greatest fears incarnate. An itch in their mind telling them to get out of there. Tseth tilts his head as he continues to watch Resh, a small smile forming.

This quickly catches Alex’s attention. He watches Tseth and Resh, seemingly waiting for something. He looks unfazed, almost amused. He shifts his wings forward slightly.

Resh gives almost no reaction, although he does start growling at Tseth. What the fuck? He feels… odd. He shifts his position uncomfortably, and he seems aggravated. He narrows his eyes at Tseth, growling loudly. “What the fuck are you doing?” He asks harshly.

Pandora looks up, her attention caught by Resh’s growling. She looks over at Tseth, then rolls her eyes and looks away. “Oh, please. I have seen this before. Just look away, and you will be fine.” She speaks in a heavy Russian accent, and she sounds mildly annoyed at the most.

Resh glares at Pandora. “And who the hell are you?”

Pandora nods politely. “My name is Pandora. I don’t mean to aggravate you, I was only trying to help.”

Resh stares at Pandora for a while, then turns his attention back to Tseth. “You’re just giving me more reasons to hate your guts, you know.”

Pandora shrugs, then glances at Kathy. Might as well get to know someone here. “Hello.” Her greeting is very clearly directed to Kathy.

Kathy turns to her, "Hola." He mutters. His deep voice seemed to calm the boy down next to him even more. He turns his attention to his brother and smiles. "shh…" He kisses the boys forehead and then turns back to the girl. "Pandora, si?"

Pandora nods, then tilts her head. “What is your name?” She doesn’t pay much attention to the little boy next to him. She has a feeling she should just leave him alone.

"Kathy. Nice to meet you, señorita." He nods slightly, then chuckles as Buba leans into him. "This is my hermano menor, (little brother) Buba. Avoid trying to look at his eyes though." He smiles down at the now sleeping boy.

Tseth returns to sitting up, his expression unchanging. But when he does, the presence around him lifts like a veil. “And you’ve given me no reason to be polite.” You don’t deserve it. No one does.

Alex looks at Pandora now, curious. She had said she’d seen it before. What did she mean by that? He mostly just listens to her and Kathy’s conversation. Kathy was also interesting—he spoke common with a few strange words included. He could only guess their meanings.

Resh rolls his eyes at Tseth. “Fuck you.” He tilts his head slightly. “What even are you?” And how the fuck haven’t you gone completely feral, with all those dark crystals on you- He seems genuinely confused.

Pandora glances at Buba, careful to avoid his eyes. She nods and smiles slightly. “It is a pleasure to meet you both.” She looks at Kathy again. “If you do not mind me asking, how did you get that rose in your eye? I am very curious.” She glances at Alex, giving him a look that seems to say ’what are you looking at?’
