Had it not been for the introduction to people-that-aren't-human the day before, Tyler might gawp a little more at the question asker. He doesn't pass the gaze off as casual exactly but it's more fascination than anything else.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" He's apparently been away with his own thoughts because he blinks once, then twice in quick succession, and then his brain seems to catch up and he gestures at the empty seat opposite him.

"Go ahead."

"New here too?"
