   Were you hoping to be left alone by the door, or were you waiting for someone to come over?
2. 

   Guest

   I was waiting for a quiet hello. I was only getting the measure of the room.
3. 

   Guest

   Do you usually leave guests alone at first, or do you come over straight away?
4. 

   Host

   I usually wait a moment. Some guests like to be left alone, and others feel stranded.
5. 

   Host

   Is there anyone you already know here?
6. 

   Guest

   I know a few faces, but I would rather talk with you first and ease in.

   Guest

   Can we keep this corner for a while? It is the calmest spot.

   Host

   Yes, we can keep this corner. I will not parade you around.

   If someone pulls you away, will you come back for me?

    Yes. If someone pulls me away, I will come back for you.
