Gray was starting to be able to recognize other people, and they were starting to be able to recognize him. Not that he was all that hard to mistake - how many brooding teenagers were there hiding outside, burrowed into a hoodie? Not many. But he was trying to make an effort to be less... well, not broody, he wasn't gonna stop that. But he wasn't running off into the woods so much, and actually trying to be a productive part of the Lodge.
He figured he should try to actually form some relationships, that knowing names and faces wasn't going to be enough for him in the long run. And wow, he actually felt like staying here for a while. "Hey, I'm havin' a meet and greet if anyone wants to come say hello." He called, flopping down onto a couch in the common room.

a meet and greet? hell yeah! and better yet, the person hosting it was also in his age group. there was only a four year age gap after all. he wasn't a big fan of gray's choice of clothing though. there was just something about the hoodie-jean combination that screamed 'agony'. attractive, right? anyway, it didn't take long for robin to come over and plop his ass down next to gray, a smile naturally making it's way onto his face. he practically lived on human interaction. "it seems like i'm the first one here!" the teen chirped, "the name's robin, nice to meet 'cha. do you always dress like that?" unlike gray, robin was wearing the classic sweater / scarf combo, both of which were pretty tacky looking.

He wouldn't lie, Gray was kind of happy that he wasn't the only young person here, though Robin and Dahlia were both older than him... which made him the youngest. Still, he was used to being the baby. His brothers had been older, as had been his two best friends growing up.
Some things Gray liked less was the practical stranger taking a seat right next to him, but he didn't protest or make any faces. He wanted to get to know people better, didn't he? And... that could include learning the way Robin's pores looked. Right? The other thing he didn't care for much was the comment on his clothes. He more or less wore the same thing every day, but he kept everything washed and clean, so it wouldn't smell.
"Gray Hanson, nice to meet you too." He said, frowning at the comment. "Yeah, why?" He wore the hoodies and jeans because they were comfy, decently warm and most importantly hid his figure. No one could tell that he had girly legs, or an even more feminine torso, and that was the main thing he cared about.

No. He did not want to come say hello. In fact, he stayed right where he was--in the armchair a few yards away, his nose stuck even more in the book he was reading as the kid mentioned a meet and greet--maybe it would help camouflage him. If they started making too much noise....
Granted, Johannes knew full well he wouldn't actually do anything about it. He'd just deal with it. Besides, technically, Gray knew him. Probably everyone did. Did being dictator mean he was exempt from this kind of thing? God he hoped so.
Sinking fast,

[align=center][size=8pt]Like Johannes, Moksha appeared to have no interest in the situation. He was sitting against one of the walls, his long legs kicked out in front of him and in a place where he could see the entire room. He looked tired, but he was checking the strings on his guitar. Even as the call went out he paid no attention to Gray. He knew the kid.
Calum, on the other hand, had been itching to do something and anything, and immediately hopped up at the chance to chat and talk to a few people. Moksha'd been hearing nothing but Cal pointing out cute members around here ; Gray being one of them, and then noticing Johannes from the back and whispering about how amazing his hair looked, wondering what he was reading...
All the same, Cal was smart enough to leave Johannes alone, and he went towards Gray, smiling at him and then waving at Robin. "I'm Calum," he said, his eyes appearing less sad as a grinned, despite their down turned shape. He tilted his head like a little puppy at Gray, looking at the way they dressed. Looking wasn't the correct word; more like examining. Where Calum came from, many people dressed quite nicely despite the literal apocalypse being upon them. It was habit by then, dressing like slobs would have made everything even more stressful. That explained Moksha's torn up suit. All the same, he added his input. "I don't see any problem with it. It looks warm and comfortable." He gave a pause, "Can I... sit?" He looked between Robin and Gray, his feet shifting slightly.

Johannes didn't escape Gray's notice, but he did escape being called over. Gray already knew him after all, and vice versa. And The teen wasn't one of those people who was going to demand everyone give a fun fact about themselves, so why drag the Dictator in to introduce himself unnecessarily?
The same was true of Moksha, though he was a little more inclined to invite the newbie over, what with that guy from St Peters looking for him. It wasn't his business or anything, but he couldn't help but be curious. Would Moksha want to know about it? Would he be pleased or angry to learn about it? Was Advay his friend or an enemy? All questions he was dying to know the answers to, but wouldn't find out just yet.
Then there was Calum, who was actually interested in joining the "party". "Yeah, I was at your joining." Gray said before realizing that the introduction was probably for Robin's benefit. He felt vaguely uncomfortable under the scrutiny - both Calum and Moka seemed to have a preference for more formal attire, but in the end the older boy seemed to approve. "Exactly." He said, gesturing towards the other. "Uhhh... sure." With a pause of his own to determine a response (he was still getting used to interacting with people that weren't family or practically family), Gray scooted over to make room between himself and Robin for Calum to sit.
