Okay, yes, Danny felt a little bad for calling her by someone else's name, but he had really been caught off guard. This place really wanted to play games with his head. There moments, kind of like this, where he kind of wished he was more then human. Though he wasn't entirely sure being something else would help him deal with everything going on.
"Oh, yeah, no. I try not to tell people I hate their faces. So far I don't have a face double, but I can't imagine I would like it very much." How strange would it be if someone showed up with his face and was a complete jerk? That would really be a mind trip! It seemed Kate was just settling into the booth and Danny was trying not to mentally freak out. She looked and the voice sounded like Allison. The speech pattern was slightly different, but it was totally unsettling.
"Better then that Dunkin place," he offered helpfully. He had tried the Dunkin Donuts place and found that the coffee had some sort of weird aftertaste. Handling coffee at the diner was easy compared to that aftertaste, at least in his opinion. "And yeah...something about salty gravy kind of outweighs that feeling of self-loathing later. A small price to play for delicious food."
The next line of questions had him actually kind of frowning.
"It...no. I mean yes, you do look like Allison, but it is complicated. I also haven't seen you around so I figured you were new. Sure, I don't know everyone in this town, but I think I would have noticed you wandering around after Allison vanished. And...I kind of failed to see your 'ta-da I'm here' moment on the network." He wrapped his fingers around his coffee mug as he studied Kate. "I'm sorry if people have been reacting kind of badly to you being here." Scott and them had to be hurting from the fact someone with Allison's face was running around.
He took a moment to drink more of his coffee as he debated texting Jackson. He could already envision the text he'd get back. Yeah, why would I care? "So, uh, besides the probably interesting welcome, anyone warn you about what this place is?"
