The Becoming Of A Crayterian

[Doreen]

Doreen smiled and simply said "thank you" at the hand kiss and gave a curtsy. "It's a pleasure to meet you as well." Her smile was big but natural and she kept eye contact with Erik, a courtesy she extended to anyone whom she spoke to.

She offered her hand to the saluting Ryo, her smile just as large. "It's an honor, Sir, to be here."
She also addressed Rio seemingly involved with something.

At first, Benjen was a bit shy. He gave a soft smile to Ryo at his greeting. He seemed kind enough to him and his nervousness started to fade. "Thank you, Mr. Kase, for inviting us here." It was when Peter addressed him that his smile grew and he became excited. He didn't fully grasp what the lad said but it was someone he could relate to. He didn't answer. Instead, he followed Peter.

Doreen was happy for her son. Finally, a playmate. Hopefully, it would last. She watched as he disappeared into another room with his new friend. Before she took her seat, she gave a large exhale, one of relief almost and took her seat. Once the others were introduced, she did the same of herself, standing to do so.
"My name is Dr. Doreen Angela Naggar, former chief medical officer of Canaria Medical on Gran Canaria and the former Tinker's Haven. It is an honor and a privilege to be here with you all," she stated. She then looked to Ryo, "Thank you for inviting us here. Both my son and I look forward to a fresh beginning here. I have my dossier ready for your approval."
Giving a short nod to all present, she took her seat.
