"I have not. I'm afraid it's only my first week here. I was just feeling a bit hungry after all the wandering around and sight-seeing and thought I best pop in for a bit of lunch." He arranged a napkin primly on his lap. "Atem, though, that's quite a name. In my world, I think that may have been an ancient Egyptian deity. Some sort of creation god, something about a snake, if memory serves. Anyway. Have you been here long yourself?"
