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?’

Kathy pauses. "Hm…honestly I still have no idea. Its been a mystery that I gave up on solving." He completely ignores the conflict happening right in front of him. "Heh…you should hear what its wanting…" He mutters.

Pandora shrugs. “So I am assuming you have had it since birth?” She also seems to ignore the conflict, despite sitting right next to it. She looks slightly intrigued when Kathy mutters. “Oh?”

Kathy laughs, "What?! No! I got it at 18. I've been going insane since." He chuckles. "Course I had a rose garden back home in Greece so I don't know…"

Alex gives no reaction to Pandora’s look. But he does turn his attention back to Tseth and Resh, as if on cue for what’s about to come.

Tseth chuckles at Resh for a moment, a gleam in his eyes. “We are Resh. The gods of darkness come to fix the world.” If he were not bound, he might consider killing the man in front of him right now.

Kathy grins. "Aye me too!"

Pandora blinks a few times. “Ohhh. My apologies.” She laughs a bit herself. “Insanity is fun, is it not? I summoned a demon a few years ago, and it has been driving me insane since. I murdered a lot of people… even became an assassin for a while.” She has a wistful look in her eye as she recalls the past. “Eventually, they caught me, although I was expecting to be thrown into prison. Not… whatever this is. But enough about me.” Pandora leans forward slightly. “What brings you here, Kathy?”

Resh stares at Tseth for a while, then laughs at him. “Oh, really? I’m terrified.” There’s an obvious tone of sarcasm in his voice, and it’s clear he doesn’t believe a word of what Tseth just said. “Resh? How original. And how exactly do you plan on ‘fixing the world?’”
