Once in the dining room, Thomas feels his way around the room, avoiding occupied chairs and standing people by relying on their feelings to guide him. Finding two empty chairs next to each other at the table, he pulls one out and places Katherin's hand on the back of it before sitting in the other. Once he released her hand, it was difficult for him to focus on the emotions of one person in particular. This was common when so many others were nearby, and a little disorienting for Thomas. With the others talking, he didn't really feel like adding his own voice. The caretaker would be the one to introduce Katherin to everyone if she wanted an official introduction done, and he didn't want to force her into an awkward situation.
