He sees the guy clock him as a kid, there's just... a look people get, and usually, it's annoying, but... there's just something about this one. He gets a pass, because if Five is right, and in his own personal experience he usually is, he's somehow even more confused than the rest of them, in a way that's got a lot less to do with showing up somewhere weird and a lot more to do with... well. That part, he has no ideas on yet.
His voice doesn't fit him, either. The weird notes just keep collecting, but Five's features stay passive. "Don't mention it," he waves a hand dismissive of the thanks, and moves in almost seamless motion to sit on the floor next to the guy. Puts them on the same level instead of continuing to stand over him.
"You've been here about as long as the rest of us," he starts with a shrug, "met the man of the hour," a gesture with his mug toward Methuselah doing whatever welcoming committee thing he's doing for another new set of folks still slowly trickling in. "what are you making of it so far?"
Why is he asking this guy? Maybe it comes across more like a kid picking the toughest-looking guy in the room to get on the good side of and buddy up with in a strange place. If he really was some punk 13-year-old, it'd be a good strategy. Mostly, it's because he's one of the more interesting people in the whole room.
