Well, this fellow certainly seemed pleasant, if a bit skittish. Then again, John considered, if anyone present at one of these Different meetings weren't skittish, he'd have been concerned. This was all rather unbelievable, and he would have had trouble even considering it were it not for what he had seen and experienced. Hoping to ease some of the, well, unease, John offered Mr. Fell a friendly, reassuring sort of smile and extended a hand to shake. If they were all a bit nervous, best to try and be kind. It was the sort of mindset he adopted with his students - encouraging and friendly.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Fell. So, uh..." He glanced around again, thinking it rather funny that he was coming to a support group all over again. He'd been a bit younger the last time he'd gone, and it had nothing to do with anything preternatural. "This is my first time coming to one of these meetings - you? I really wasn't sure what to expect. Sort of feels like a bloody staff meeting only with more...weirdness and less...forced polite conversation." He took a breath in consideration, having withdrawn his hand after the shake to slip it into his pocket. "Food's the same though. Funny, that, eh? Always the same, no matter what meeting you go to...Sorry. Tangent again. So - what - " He frowned then, his dark eyes crinkling a little in thought.

" - Is it rude to ask another Different what they went through? Sort of - what are you in for, kind of talk?"
