As the people inside the house scrambled to turn down the sound system, Se'rox noticed that one was gathering a lot of light-weight items, and putting them on. She almost laughed when she realized he or she was getting dressed. She also felt someone slide up the stairs, and picked a spot on that floor to observe. So. It wasn't an ambush. But she doubted the house got a lot of visitors.
The door opened finally, and Se'rox was relieved to hear Zuchax III's voice. She almost worried, at first, when he didn't immediatly recognize her. But he must have been staring at her eyes (most people did, trying to possibly figure out why they looked so strange) before looking out at the rest of her. He welcomed her, and she felt him bow. Se'rox smiled. She walked in past him, and took a few steps in, allowing him room enough to close the door.
"I... don't mean to intrude." Se'rox started facing towards where the other two people in the room were. She turned to face Zuchax. "But, well. I could always trust you. I didn't think I'd ever need a place to hide. But a place to camp out, I do." Se'rox hesitated. She had been on her own for years. But she needed to be near Rose. This was Gaia, and Rose was supposed to return here. Se'rox certainly wasn't going to try explaining her way back onto the ship Rose was on. Too much trouble, that. And too much trouble led back to.... unwanted attentions. Still, Se'rox did not want to say too much in front of the others.
"So, would you have room for one more here? I can tell you... have quite the full house right now. But... what do you say?" Se'rox smiled, and waited to see what Zuchax would say. Or if the other man would speak or move, or the ... snake person? She kept her feet grounded, just in case. She never underestimated seeing peoples' ability to underestimate her own ability to tell what was going on, and people would often try to surprise her.
