John could admit that he had been a bit surprised by the warm welcome he'd received upon entering the town. The friendly people, the offer of a place to stay, all of it really had helped the former soldier begin to settle in.
When he heard that the other man had a friend already in town, a slight but earnest smile touched the corner of Grimm's mouth too. "Well having a friend around is always good. Didn't have anyone from home here to help out, but the locals and the other refugees were kind enough to assist me."
As a stray thought crossed his mind the man found himself chuckling warmly for a second before chiming in again. "Even met an amazing woman here, and she took me to a party through one of those portals, shortly after my arrival. If you ever need a pick me up, attending a hobbit birthday party will do the trick. And those kindhearted little folks do love a good candy bar too."
The talk of true peace soured Reaper's smile a tad as his thoughts turned back to his own world. Back to the hell he had seen first hand on the Mars Base. "Yeah, I was a soldier back in my world. Tried doing what I could to help bring about that peace...but here, this place is a paradise compared to where I'm from."
