Edgar's charming company had raised Anise's spirits enough that not even the Head Doctor's voice could bring them back down. Besides, she was feeling pretty sure that Landel wasn't actually around. To begin with, it wouldn't make sense, and secondly, his announcements sounded suspiciously like ones she'd already heard before. While Anise wasn't

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't realize you were talking to me." He smiled in his usual friendly manner. No sense in being rude to a stranger, after all. "Well, it's really bland and...unusual, I guess. Kind of indescribable. Not the worst taste in the world, but it still can't be called real food by any means." He chuckled. "I figure the faster I eat it, the quicker I can get rid of it."
Maybe that's how he should be treating this kind of thing from now on. It's all bad medicine. Just take it quickly and don't think about it, and then it won't be as bad as it seems. But more importantly, why was she asking? Was she new here? Oh god, he wasn't sure what to tell her if she were brand new. Maybe he should ask in a moment.

Hmmmm... she debated a bit as she faced off with the goop. Eventually she steadied her tray with one hand and ran a finger along the top of her pile. It felt just the way it looked, and as for how it tasted... Celty took another moment to stare at the pink-tipped end of her finger before sticking it in her mouth.
It was no hamburger, but for someone who did not know enough food tastes to compare it with, she couldn't really give it a definition. It was just... plain, maybe? In any event, the uncertainty of flavor caused Celty's head to tilt off on a mild confusion.

"It's something to get used to," he commented while gently pushing his own plate of goop a few inches away from him. He'd eaten about half of it and that was good enough for him. Besides, he'd rather converse with this new person than eat right now. Wasn't it about time he introduced himself to her? Introductions were always important when speaking with strangers. If it wasn't important for identification purposes, it was just plain polite. In this case, the more people Byrne knew around here, the better. "I'm afraid we haven't met before, so allow me to introduce myself. I'm Byrne Faraday. And you are...?"

When he introduced himself, Celty pulled her finger from her mouth and grabbed her tray before her fumbling sent it to the ground. She then gave a nodding bow over her tray to him. "Oh I'm Celty," she greeted, not wanting to be rude. She'd already interrupted his meal by suddenly speaking to him, so she could at least give a proper introduction, "Celty Sturluson."

Oh well, it really couldn't hurt to ask. "Just out of curiosity, Ms. Sturluson, how long have you been here?" Part of him hoped her answer was over two or three days. As much as he was eager to help people out, he really wasn't sure what to say to someone new without making them think he was nuts.
