Oh, the Sarcasm! Rowan gets the annoyed look of recognizing when the Pun is Clever but refusing to laugh.
The offered handshake feels a little formal given this entire mess of a situation, but it's inoffensive enough. He pauses while reciprocating, not expecting Rowan to grip his hand so firmly. His fingertips have rough bristly chitin where the claws fold out, but it is otherwise a handshake like any other. Between the compression happening up his forearm and feeling utterly exhausted, he is on the backfoot in their Confident Handshake game.
