[ Hey man, screw those other dudes. Maya and Peter will eventually be doing them a favor, anyway. Evidently the guards don't seem to care much about their pushiness, though; they must have seen their share of overly eager newbies come through.
Luckily, shifting closer to the door doesn't draw too much more attention, with the crowd being thinner here. He runs his tongue over his teeth, trying to think of the best way to slip into the door without being seen. Their best bet is to wait until Tukkir appears and starts his speech, that much is clear. The problem, really, is all the people milling around. Too many wandering eyes.
Their luck holds, apparently, when above them a retractable roof moves into place to block out the sunlight, and the lights along the walls are switched off, floor by floor, until the primary source of lighting is on the stage itself. Good enough cover, by Peter's reckoning, if highly unnecessary for a day one orientation. Tukkir must have a flare for the dramatic. ]
How exciting. [ His voice sounds eager, but he rolls his eyes, trusting that it's dark enough that only Maya can see him. ]
