[Eddie takes the man's hand for a firm, brief handshake. His palms are rough, quite a bit more than when he first showed up, definitely a hallmark of his farming job in this place.]

Eddie. Good to meet you. [He gives a little smile.] I'm usually out on my farm, on the outskirts of Northwest Hollow, but I come into town to socialize occasionally.

[He takes a moment to sip his drink and consider his words.] It's best to take the warnings about getting inside before dark seriously. But if you're ever out late around the farms, I got a lamp out by my front gate, and the gate's latched, not locked. If trouble finds you and you need some shelter.
