Dakota watched as Ira got up from the table after a few moments. He had wondered if he was going to take the invite or not but soon enough he was on his way over to him. He watched him for a brief moment before lowering his gaze because he didn't want the guy to think that he was staring at him. He was probably freaking out already due to the fact that a complete stranger invited him over to sit with him. He knew that he would have been if he wasn't the way he was. He didn't mind strangers talking to him and he often got something out of it.
As Ira got to the table he made sure he had room to sit his things and glanced up at him when he said that there was no use taking up two tables when they could just occupy once. That was smart thinking and a good reason to invite him over although there were some empty tables so no one was fighting over them. At least they could keep each other company. "Right." he said smiling up at the man.
He waited until he put his things down and extended his hand to him. "I'm Dakota."
