[A vague form takes shape in Hob's memory, a shine of glasses and an awkward hello. He hums thoughtfully with a faint frown, waiting for Rue to sit before offering them their fork, still puzzling.]
That...sounds familiar, yes. Forgive me, there were so many new faces and names to recall I must have allowed one to slip past. Perhaps a re-introduction is in order. I could accompany you when you give him his tea?
[Rue settles at the goblin's side with the tray, already moving to pour his tea into the delicate teacup that they've long since assigned to him, so that the pair of them can exchange silverware and teacup at the same time with one another.
It just comes so naturally to the pair of them at this point.]
I would love that. Martin is a very kind, generous soul. I would be so happy to have the two of you know one another better. He has been a very good friend here. And the only one of my friends who cares as much about tea as we do!
If that's the case then I absolutely must accompany you. I look forward to it!
[Perhaps this way he'll make...a friend? It's been difficult, building camaraderie outside of work, but then, it had come as a great surprise to him that he had met so many commendable and true Fey at the Bloom that he could call friends. It has never been easy for Hob to make those connections.
But with Rue at his side, he feels that he might.]
