Passing personal comments would be a big no. Talk about the weather to convey your nationality and put all at ease. Maybe ensure you are carrying a flask of tea to refresh all involved?
Fret not, as ectoplasm is known for it’s restorative properties, it’s probably just a facemask to cleanse the pores. However, it might be advisable to avoid the twelfth floor, someone saw a cockroach up there.
