He did reply to Ashley though with a "Yes thank you, how about yourself" before settling in with just sitting and waiting.

He really wasn't good with small talk.

Then the coffee arrived, he didn't mind coffee but tea was much preferred and he was about to as for some when a new employee beat him too it. With a little smile he piped up, "I'll second that, thank you Howard" He turned his his direction to introduce himself, "I'm Bradley, its nice to meet you Howard." He would have done the whole and shake thing but was too far away.

"How bad does the explosion look Aliani?" he then asked - ooh small talk! - to try and at least getting himself talking and the room less creepy silent.

Howard, although usually happy to keep in the background of things, was actually pleased when someone spoke to him. It broke the ice a little and relieved some of the tension he was feeling.

Ceasing playing with his tie, he resisted the temptation to sit on his hands which was usually what he did to stop any inadvertent fidgeting (his therapist said it made him look like a twelve year old boy), and he looked over at the fellow tea drinker. He smiled slightly and, although it was a nervous smile, it was genuine.

“Nice to meet you too.” He replied nervously. He cleared his throat, all too aware that most employees in the room were deadly silent. “What division are you in?” Smaaalll talk. Howard's Achilles Heal.

Ah, the explosion. It had looked bad. Very VERY bad.. before Howard ~~escaped~~ left the scene.

More employees arrived and Howard began fidgeting nervously once again.
