Gathering: New Guest Reception

[concierge]

The black sign positioned in front of the Dining Hall's main entrance reads:

New Guest Reception
TODAY
6 PM - 8 PM

All guests welcome

In the Dining Hall itself, the chairs have been pushed up against the walls and the long dining table turned into a buffet stocked with finger foods. At the far end of the room is a small bar serving beer, standard cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks.

Arthur gives Nick his usual thin smile, appreciating the humor of the situation.

"I'd hate to offend someone."

"You remind me of one of my trainers," Nick said, utterly unable to stop matching the other guy's smile. "One of the few I've met that can say something that appears to be an answer, but really isn't. It sounds good when you hear it, but the more you think about it, the more you realize it didn't actually answer the question."

"I can't say I do it on purpose," Arthur lies.

"I suppose I resist the straightforward in favor of the elegant."

"What I wouldn't give to put you in a room with Savitar, just to see if you could out-enigma each other," Nick laughed. "Probably cause one hell of a whirlpool, though, talking circles around each other. Still, be amusing as hell to watch."
