Zane lowered his eyes. While he had no issue accepting his fate and looking it in the eye, he did not hold eye contact with others. It was a sign of humility that had often been commented on even while in the same breath he had been looked down on for other deeds. "We have not. I was last with the Cirque many years ago, but have only recently returned."
He did have enough strength in the ways of etiquette to offer his hand in greeting. "My name is Zephaniah, but many simply call me Zane." There had always been a strange disconnect when he used the nickname over his real name. The nickname did not come from a shorting of the first, but purely as a preferred name given to him by his fellow childer.
