You'll have to introduce me - are they in the Academy for Longnight?" He appreciated her apology, but it was hardly needed now - he had accepted the hand dealt with him and was working to make the most of it. Besides, it wasn't like the girl was responsible for it; he merely offered another nod, another small smile to the apology.
Her joke had him laughing again, it wasn't the first time someone had made it, but he hadn't heard it repeated here yet - the people of Halo were far too serious, far too focussed on surviving their harsh surrounds to see the light of a moment, to laugh and joke and poke fun at one another. It was refreshing - it was a relief, and he sorely needed it. "Hester," he repeated, to ensure he got it right.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," he spoke genuinely, smiling broadly as he gestured for her to commence her tune, leaning back more in his chair to settle in and grant her his full attention.
