The boy was very quiet. Stark white...and his eyes were hiding something....he couldn't place what. Hmm. He nodded as the boy waved off the tissues, and shoved them back in his pocket.

"Well...you seem to be....nervous now that I've shown up. I'll leave you to it--or were you leaving? I hope you feel better, m'boy--" he said with a smile, again, and looked on into Greenhouse Three. "What's your name? Just so I can start remembering? It's hard being new, you know--you must know--" he said softly, because he could TELL this kid was a first year. He'd also seen the lot of them come in from the boats...taken note of a few of the faces.
