Well now that the group was more approachable perhaps it was time for Aiyanna to do just that approach. She didn't try and hide herself, making certain to approach from a forward position the moment she was in range of Cassandra's Immortal radar detection.
Aiyanna's hands were visible, down by her sides as she approached. She had taken the time to put together a few things, in a welcome basket of sorts. It kept her hands visible and loaded with the basket, without making it obvious to everyone that she was trying to show she was unarmed.
"Pardon me... a few of us threw together a welcome basket of sorts. There is a precious commodity of scented soap, the ever popular beer, a bottle of wine for the more discerning tastes, and a couple of candles... always useful." Aiyanna paused a moment, offering the basket to Chloe, "The name is Dr. Aiyanna Whiteeagle."
Chloe was talking to Corporal Fitzgerald--who was actually managing to keep his eyes on her face (mostly)--when she sensed Cassandra's sudden alertness. Chloe glanced at Cassandra

Bobby and Darien had just set their trays down at one of the long rows of tables when the newcomers arrived. All four -- but especially the ladies -- had the colonists' rapt attention before manners kicked in and eyes were averted.
"Eyepatch over there," Bobby said quietly, "is the luckiest man alive."
Darien almost grinned. "'Cept for needing the eyepatch."
"'Course."
Both stood, intending to introduce themselves to the newcomers, but Dr. Whiteeagle beat them to it. And she had a welcoming gift! "Wish I'd thought of that," Bobby muttered.
"The ol' Hobbes charm isn't enough?" Darien quipped.
Bobby grinned crookedly. "Usually it is. But for these lovely ladies? Every little bit counts."
They waited for an opportunity to join the group without mobbing Eyepatch and his comely entourage. That, or to invite them to their table.
Faith noticed Cassie's slight tell-tale stiffening, but experience and practice - both that came from her Slayer training and just traveling with the Immortal - kept Faith's attention rooted to Cassie and not craning her head around to see where the other Immortal was.

[Keller] Only time for a snack!lost_mckayApril 5 2009, 22:10:54 UTC
Work was work, and it meant that dinner was 'take out'. Literally.
Dr. Jennifer Keller was minus her white medical jacket, instead sporting her Atlantis dark and yellow. She pushed the door open, stepped a foot in to let her eyes acclimate to the change in light, and began to head towards the line where the food was served.
It was once there that she actually looked around to see who else was there, if she recognized anyone. Of course, that didn't mean others didn't know who she was, and there were a couple 'evening, Dr. Keller's nearer to where she was. She scanned the room, her gaze landing on the newly arrived, and nodded to her thoughts as she also took note as to who was with them.
Captain Boone... wonder if he's awake yet?
The dynamic duo. Are they ever apart? She actually had to give it some thought, and in the meantime, her arm was touched by the man behind her in encouragement to move forward as the line had moved.
