"Is there really a need for that kind of language right now?" Warren looked at the dark-eyed young woman with a serene expression. "As far as my understanding goes, you're a guest here. I think it's only appropriate that you should show some respect." He was well aware that people were either for Ro running the school or against her. As far as Warren was concerned she was just fine where she was. And until or even if a change in authority occurred his loyalties were with Ororo, and he didn't think she needed to be spoken to like that. None of them did, especially from a girl who looked like she was barely out of high school.
It was then that Paige arrived and drew all the attention in the room. He couldn't help but try to hide a smile. When she looked in his direction he gave her a wink and told her, "You haven't missed anything yet. We're all just getting reacquainted apparently." Then in walked Rogue. Was this a surprise? Judging from Kitty's expression; yes. Judging from Ororo's; not exactly. "Hey, Rogue," he greeted. The two of them had never really been friends, more like just aware the other existed. There was no reason not to welcome her as far as he was concerned.
