"I'm telling you, if I have to deal with one more enchanted teapot at work..." He seemed not to notice you were there, taking off his hat and coat and tossing them on one of the chairs. "Why are you all so quiet?" His gaze finally followed the others and landed on you, his eyebrows raising, and surprise causing one of his legs to falter. "Merlin!" He reached out his hand, shaking yours enthusiastically. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you!" He took the empty seat on your other side.
