Alastair was very glad he did have the right girl. She was amazing. He shook her hand and he grinned widely. "Nice to meet you, Abby. Alastair."
Absynia, hmm? He wondered if it was a nickname or... Having been best friends with a leprechaun for ten years, you tended to stop believing that people's names didn't mean anything. Having no further proof, however, Alastair decided to wait for more before he said anything.
"Thank you for inviting me," he said with a smile. "My week has not been easy. This place is...just what I need."
