[ There's a touch of irony to the way he inclines his head in acknowledgment. A sure, why not which contains an echo of some hidden amusement. ]
It's been an interesting week, Henry.
[ Clearly, he's not going to force them past small talk, though not from enjoyment of it. There's always something to learn from the way people choose to go about these kinds of meetings, and there's a lot to learn about Henry Darrow, given there is no trace of him anywhere. Not in the annals of history, though that's hardly uncommon and not too significant. Not in public records, though there are other people called Henry Darrow to be found. Not in criminal databases, not in the scientific industries he's familiar with, not in academic circles.
But so what? There are over seven billion people alive at this very moment. What are the odds that this man is someone significant?
Probably about the same odds that would see a lightning strike grant a man superhuman powers, honestly. ]
