[Dave seems... kind of different around this girl. John squints his eyes a little, as though that will bring her into sharper focus and make it more clear what she's doing to his friend...

Nah, he's probably overthinking it. Also, her fancy way of speaking reminds him of Rose a bit. Maybe that's it.]

It's nice to meet you too, Meri Diana. Don't believe anything Dave has told you about me, though. My last name is Egbert, for one; Dave's the nerdbutt.

[He's a bit thrown off by the curtsy, and John does a curtsy in response, even though he doesn't have a dress on. He just sort of... holds his hands out around his hips, like he's lifting a skirt.

Yeah. Fancy.]
