He doesn't look up from the interface reader in front of him on the desk for a long moment, because he's pretty sure it's Jedao or Fives, and they both know that it takes his brain a second to disconnect from the shit he reads about Jedao.
He glances up, and a look of total surprise crosses his face.
"Oh, uh," he says. "Hi." His brain hunts around for something to say next, and comes up with "I don't need any sandwiches," a sentiment that is so totally helpful. "I mean, come in."
