Will opened his mouth to respond to Sabine's question, but pulled up short when the other man approached. He had an earnest face and an open expression, held himself with confidence and strength. There was an edge to him that Will had a difficult time reading, but he didn't feel threatened in the slightest. On the contrary, the guy had a protective sort of presence about him, a quality that made Will qualify him generically as a good guy.

"I like what you've done with the place," Will quipped, attempting to use humor to cover some of his twitchy nervousness.

"Will Graham," he said then, offering his hand in introduction. As he did, he turned to Sabine, adding, "Thank you for the invitation, Sabine."
