Scav observed the scene in amused silence, deciding he might rather like the goblin's antics when they weren't directed at him. The scholar was probably wise to expect some sort of trap or prank in the little device, but open distrust in the group was hardly what they needed right now. Simon had the right idea, accept the consequences of the pranks in good grace, realizing they were Leo's attempts to connect to the group in his own way. But under no circumstance would he reciprocate, as he recognized potential escalation when he saw it and was too old for a nuclear arms race of most any kind, but perhaps most especially of this kind. Someone would no doubt rise to the challenge, though.
For now, he found himself agreeing most readily with Ivana, and he spoke right after her. "I agree. Standing around in the middle of a courtyard is no place for proper introductions. I could eat as well."

Selene looked at Cyrus and gave a faint smirk, looking the man over. She finally spoke, just loud enough to be heard and no more.
"Debatable, but even if they cannot be improved upon, your equipment surely can."
Alexander glanced at Simon, grinning a touch and nodding.
"We'll figure out what can be improved... but you are right to expect that. I cannot afford to go easy on you guys."
He then looked at Leo and gestured towards Vosh and Ivana, with a hooked thumb.
"Those two come from places a bit... different. You'll have to excuse them. For now."
He then gestured towards Simon, chuckling a bit.
"Don't worry about the Dacian, he's just looking out for new toys."
He then slapped his hands together and nodded at Scav, starting for the tables.
"Indeed. let's eat and we can go over the details."
Selene would glance at Ivana, pursing her lips for a moment before her eyes gave off a red glow and the strange sphere flew from the goblin's hand to her own. She allowed it to levitate for a few moments before spreading her fingers. The sphere came apart as if someone took the time to unscrew every part and pull them off.
"Fascinating device... I will have to inspect it more later. But... you are correct, my young apprentice, let's eat."
As she moved for the table, Alexia would follow, keeping her eyes on Tarkas the whole time. She picked a seat next to an empty one, then turned her gaze to Vosh, waiting to see what the wizard would do.

Apprentice? What the f**k, the thief didn't like the notion. Ivana hated when she's being bossed around. She avoided the witch's gaze though. She thought, it would be better to prioritize being full before she'd receive some nagging again, or worse, a punishment from her.
"Ahh well! At last, something to fill my belly," she announced loud, "I deserve something delicious after that hard training."
Ivana then went towards the table and inspected each of the wine bottles. When she found what she liked, she took the bottle immediately and sat down.

Vosh, having washed his hands, made his way to the table, but not without occasionally shifting his eyes towards the Goblin. He took a seat next to the scantly clad priestess, greeting her with a polite head nod as he sat down.

"I'm always in the market for more high-technology toys to play with, yes, this is true." Simon admits, shrugging as if to say it was only natural. "It's like telling a man that not only is Elysium real, but one can touch and play with all the things inside of it. Or like telling a child he can go into the workshop and touch everything. I'm going to want to poke."
At the table, Simon would make sure to seat himself as close to as the mid point between Selene and Alex... on the opposite side of the table. He figured if people were going to talk, it would be most convenient to sit equidistant across from the two who would be doing most of the talking.

Tarkas turned to the table and took a seat across from Alexia. He stretched his arms up, glistening in the the sun a bit.
"You know, much as I look forward to the training and the battles ahead of us" he said loud enough for everyone to hear before finally resting his eyes on the princess, "I have to say that taking a few days to build up our strength was a good idea."

Cyrus watched much of the conversation unfold from his point next to Leo's bike. Chuckling under his breath when the goblin casually lobbed the dummy grenade.
He made his way to stand next to Corina, watching the remaining conversations unfold. Selene's words about improving his powers made him flinch. The Director's voice echoed in his ears, whispering praise to him. Taking a sharp intake through his nose, Cyrus shook his head.
"All due respect Selene, I will pass on the honing my powers. I've..." he shook his head again, "I've spent enough of my life being poked and prodded, scrutinized and tested, to last several life times." He didn't trust the witch, she'd already invaded his mind once. Nor did he trust her obvious lust for knowledge. Who knows what she would do after discovering just what he was actually capable of. Her ambitiousness and scheming made her unpredictable as well. She didn't get to where she was now by being soft.
He'd spent far too long laid out on the surgeons table. Being dissected and put back together, examined like a rat in a maze. An experiment, nothing more. No. Never again. He had a feeling that Selene's interest in his abilities went beyond just a simple need to want to defend her home.
Even if he came out more powerful, power that he could use to destroy the past, would he come out himself? Cyrus reached into his shirt and pulled out his necklace, staring at the rings that rest in his palm. Was it worth the risk? More power meant he could get back to them sooner... back to his home, his family.
He let the rings slide out of his hand, but didn't tuck them back into his shirt. Letting the silver catch the light and sparkle, the pearlescent bands swirling calmly. "Although some new equipment would be appreciated."
Moving from his spot he approached the table and headed toward a spot of empty seats. As he walked behind Tarkas, he flicked the back of the man's head. "Please control your thoughts. I really don't want to see what you got up to the past two days."
Sitting in an empty seat, he turned to look at Corina. He tilted his head towards the empty seat to his right. An invitation.

Leo sat next to Scav. He figured that official business would not start for a while yet so he might as well exchange a few words.
"This looks like a wildly diverse group huh? What brings you here?"

"An unfortunate set of circumstances... one I was not able to predict", Vosh was the first to answer, "In a way, it was a quest for knowledge. Field research, however, has its potential hazards, unexpected and unannounced teleportation apparently being one of them. This, you might imagine, is not an everyday occurrence where I am from."
