greets, free hand lifting to run through the hair at the nape of his neck as he offers them a smile.
"D'you mind if I sit with you?"
his gaze lands on a lone figure in one seat and he hesitates, awkward; he doesn't want to intrude on what is likely a peaceful morning for them, but it would be harmless to share a table, right?
