[Assuming Kabane has anything handled is a mistake, but he's always ready to make an attempt. He'll just have to study up first, stare unblinkingly at some conversing strangers until they get uncomfortable, that sort of thing.

He accepts the offered hot dog and takes one big bite. At least he chews and swallows before he looks up and starts talking again.]

I'm Kabane. Thank you for the food and for answering my questions, Mr. Summers. The people here look like they're having fun, so you must be a good leader.
