Something in the look Amanda gave him reminded Willis of the countless times his mother had told him to be on his best behaviour whilst growing up. Willis sat up straight and extended his right hand to meet Ian's, and gave a firm handshake.
"Nice to meet you Ian," replied Willis.
Willis looked back down at the table to notice Amanda's notebook and pen had disappeared, presumably hidden away in one of her pockets. The workshop talk would be suspended for the moment it seems.
Willis looked back up at Ian, wondering if he should say something or whether it would be better to let the two talkative ones carry on the conversation. After a short pause Willis decided to speak.
"Well, works been pretty busy for myself lately," stated Willis, "I've actually taken on a full time apprentise. Bright young kid, Catelyn her name is."
