"I am a new comer here myself. I have only been here for the better part of a year. I wish I knew these people better. I have learned only this, if yourself useful you are welcomes, if you make yoursekf unwelcomed, you usually end up dead. They will never give up, or give. And they only rarely take the easy way out." Sen says with a small bow. "I try to make everyone feel welcome, as I was welcomed."
