Enoch understood the disorientation. Especially if she'd been here for a long time, or been here before, having other people around suddenly would be rather strange. So he gives her a reassuring smile.

"I am Enoch, and this is my friend and guardian, Lucifel. It seems Zo has sent us on a journey to find you all."

The tone of Vietnam's voice, for some reason, made Kanaya feel as if maybe her blockmate understood what it was like to have to hide or die. Perhaps she would tell Vietnam what happened, if there was even an opportunity to after this. For the time being, though, Kanaya was focused on Enoch's words.

She almost couldn't believe what she was hearing, and it came through in the blank way she regarded Enoch before it really sunk in. The flat expression became one of profound relief and, to some degree, even excitement. "Really? We are not trapped here?"

The spark of hope was enough to make her lose track of her manners, forgetting completely to introduce herself to these strangers for the moment. But she had to make sure she wasn't--imagining things, or something. It was easy to go a little crazy in a situation like this.

Kanaya brightening up was indication that she was ready to get out of here. Which in a way, would make things easier; Vietnam feared that a few of these others may feel like they want to remain in their dead world to repair it. But perhaps not.

So she nods. "Yes, he's right, we are not trapped here. We can through portals from the Tower, so we can go whenever you are ready."

There was something that Vietnam needed to do though, as formalities would not allow her to skip over this, and that was to Enoch and Lucifel: "It is also nice to meet you, Enoch and Lucifel. And work with you for now!"

"Same here." Lucifel wouldn't stop Kanaya, anyone in her place would react this way, so he learned. And besides, it didn't matter to him if she introduced herself to them, there were a few more important things at this moment.

But that aside, he didn't want to stay in the dead worlds for longer than they had to.

Enoch gave his companion a glance. He knew, being in these worlds was uncomfortable, but this was the most hopeful he'd felt about it in ages...

"It's nice to meet you, as well. There should be a portal somewhere in this world that will lead us elsewhere. Let's find it."

He notices the corpses around aren't in the same condition as the others, then, but...he won't say anything about it. That's not the sort of thing one should ask about when you've only just met.
