Lincoln waited there a second, before the door opened to the blonde girl he saw enter, which he assumed was Paige. The girl introduced herself, and stuck out her hand for a handshake. Growing up in Slight, nothing was very formal. It was kind of a dirty industrial place and everyone knew each other. Lincoln wasn't used to the handshake gesture, so he didn't have the quickest reaction to that. After what felt like a century of awkwardness, he flung his hand up and gave her a handshake. "It's nice to meet you, Paige."

 After thinking that their encounter was over, he didn't expect her to ask him if he wanted to walk down to dinner with her. Lincoln was quick to say yes, wanting to get to know her, this was a perfect opportunity. "Of course." Lincoln responded, with a smile he hasn't worn in years.
