[ Okay. Okay, so it's him, three adults, and one... is that a robot baby? Riz peers at it, a little unnerved but unwilling to say something about it on the chance that one of the three people greeting him is actually its mother, and he steps inside, glancing warily from face to face to face. Thank god Ororo is here too. They don't know each other well, but she's cool, and she's nice, so that means this won't all be awful. Natasha seems a little put-off, he thinks, but that's fair. Anyone would be in the scenario they've found themselves in. ]

Hey, nice to meet you. I guess you already saw my name on the paper, but I'm Riz -- Riz Gukgak.

[ Natasha, Hob, Ororo. They're going first name basis, then. He can work with that. He clears his throat, making sure his posture is straight and tall, as proper and polite as he can be. ]

I'm not gonna lie, this is pretty weird. But since we're stuck with each other for the time being, I hope we can all work together. [ A little quieter, to Ororo alone, entirely earnest: ] I was happy to see your name too.

[ Okay. Step one: make himself useful. Always a good start. ]

I overheard you guys talking about cooking? I can cook, a little.
