( matt starts to laugh because...that's cute, all right. she'd thought pop a vein meant to just cut someone's limb off. good thing that the person they'd chosen had the ability to grow it back. )

I don't know if I'm going to be really all that helpful. I'm not the most welcoming person. No one's going to set me up as the tour guide and greeter at the local store.

( he could garner sympathy just fine but he'd probably get bored easily when it came to something like welcoming people over and over. )

Just go with something simple. 'Welcome to Solvunn, we have a farm and absolutely no sacrifices, really.'
