Loki, after his arrival, was in and out most days at the dorms, so focused was he on getting to know not only the known areas of his new home, but also the unknown. He'd spent the first few days, though, mapping the dormitory itself, in as much an effort to see whether or not it, like the rest of the city, exhibited subtle changes, but to no avail.

Today, he was actually reclining in the lobby with a book, on astronomy if anyone's curious, but he looks up as Thane passes through. This is a new one, a race he's never seen, and his eyebrows raise out of curiosity if nothing else. He slides a bookmark between his pages and closes the book, raising from his seat, approaching this stranger with a warm smile.

Allies are always better than enemies, after all.

"Hello. I don't believe we've met."
