Max instinctively slowed up as the crowd pulled ahead of him and reached the doors of the cafeteria, knowing well not to get between a monster and its dinner. He gave polite, awkward smiles when ever a gleaming pair of eyes turned his way, offered a nod and a 'good evening, Mr. So-and-so' but was mostly happy to fall into the background as he slipped in shortly after Ms. Iris and Mr. Alphonse and moved to the back of the line forming at the counter. He saw Ms. Velvet and Mr. Qaymu hunched over a chess board and Mr. Khalid at a table by himself. Max had the sudden urge to go over and speak with Mr. Khalid, the man had always been so polite, but the overwhelming feeling of unspeakable dread that filled his soul anytime he was in the monster's presence made it difficult to work up the nerve. His attention was diverted, however, as Chef Borkus began gesturing wildly and barking orders at Gurnak and the other cafeteria staff. 

The large human slowly backed out of line as the pigman began using a rather large cleaver to gesture violently around the kitchen and power-walked straight back to reception where he was almost trampled by Dimitri who didn't offer so much as a snort as he stomped down the hall, his gaze focused and hulking form moving with determined purpose. Peeking his head around the corner he saw Ms. Theria and one of the sloombas crouched before the desk. He could already sense the anxiety pouring off the gorgon as he coughed lightly to draw her attention. [color=7bcdc8]"Uh... Ms. Theria..."[/color] He gave her a wide, apologetic smile as he approached the desk. [color=7bcdc8]"I know you're probably busy... but well, Chef Borkus is closer than usual to turning the next unruly cafeteria patron into a dinner special. It sounds like the freezer is on the fritz?"[/color]
