Cooking and Fighting are the same!

Steven observed him as he slowly entered more and it wasn't lost on him that he didn't put his sword away right away. He was shifty eyed and stammered a bit. All in all it was very difficult to trust him even with his name. Mirja seemed to relax around him after his introduction but Steven was very slow to put his own sword away and his hand hovered over the handle. For all he knew this guy was just playing shy and coy hoping they would drop their guard. He didn't feel to bad being suspicious of this guy. As an internal affairs member he was usually on the lookout for suspicious behavior.

"Well Hendrex my name is Steven." though he didn't return henrex's overly formal bow. Partly because this didn't exactly seem like a formal affair and partial because he wasn't yet willing to take his eyes off of Henrex. He studied the boy looking over his actions and posture. It wasn't lost on him that his hand was still around its sword as well and he wasn't looking directly at either of them. He wasn't sure what Henrex was going to do but he would be ready.
