"Eddie," Brock said. He didn't extend his hand to shake, but he offered a smile to make up for it.

Maybe in another lifetime he would've been hitting on Nadie hardcore, but right now he was far, far more tempted by the bagged lunch with her. It took an effort to not just stare at it hungrily, he realized, keeping his eyes on her face. She wasn't exactly his type - a bit too exotic looking for his tastes - but she seemed approachable enough.

"Haven't seen you around before," he said after a moment. It wasn't the most original thing to say, but that wasn't the point - the point was to just keep himself distracted until he could get some real food around here, and Nadie seemed like she'd be up for some random conversation.
