[Neal takes the offered hand for a quick shake, nodding as he takes note of the name. Like Jefferson, it doesn't click that this guy could be from his world just yet--but the familiarity with Wonderland does make him wonder a bit. Usually people who take getting here this well have some sort of supernatural background at the very least, and to think he might be from a fairytale isn't so far out of the realm of possibility as a person might think.]

Pretty much everyone does; hate it, I mean. [With exceptions thanks to certain circumstances Neal's not exactly thrilled to go into with a stranger.] Me? Geez, it's been... [He trails off, trying to think back to when he got there.] Damn. Eight months. [He shakes his head slowly.] Not sure if it feels like it's been that long or that short, and there are people who have been here a lot longer than me.
