"Nice to meet you, Adam." Richard nodded back and leaned against the entertainment center, arms folded. The pause went on a little long for comfort, but Adam was obviously checking the place out, which was exactly what Richard would have done. Even better, he wasn't trying to be sneaky about it. Richard got a kick out of that. He sat back and waited for a verdict, all the while trying to make out the designs on Adam's arms.
The question surprised him a little and he looked up, scanning Adam's face. Shave off a few years and the beard and... no, still nobody he knew. But something made him stop before he said so and he looked again, doubting himself. He felt like he should know, should recognize the younger man. There had to be a reason he felt (Was that fondness?) for someone he had barely met. Maybe it was just a resemblance?
"I did just move in," he agreed, letting a small mocking smile form as he repeated himself, trying to mask his hesitation. "So I don't see how we could have met before. Unless you've lived in Chicago in the past few years? Got any family up there?" He hoped that was it, anything to explain this niggling feeling in the back of his head.
