retroductions | reverie overflow.

Excellent. I cannot wait to show this off. [He's already said that, but he'll say it again.] Autographs aside, Iris will be stunned to hear all about Pokemon, you know.

It is interesting to me to see how other people react to them. I have been greeting new arrivals with the Conductor on my shoulder.

Have you? Have they been shocked? Impressed? Intrigued?

[They could not possibly be frightened of such a cute little guy.]

Mostly those, yes. Only a couple have been actually afraid of the Conductor.

[ Joltik chirps sadly at that as he finishes, dropping the pen and hopping back up to Emmet's shoulder. ]

Who? Who could fear such a fine friend?

[SILLY PEOPLE, THAT'S WHO. Sholmes scoops up the paper, looks at it appraisingly, pleased.]

Yor is afraid. But she is also verrrry nice about it. She wrote the Conductor a letter. And she is trying. I know he appreciates that.

Ah, yes... I remember Mrs Forger looking utterly overwrought when we put on our concert. But she did try to be polite, so credit where it is due.

She always tries to be polite around him. It is sweet.

She does try very hard to be kind and polite, except when she is throwing a man into the sand. Still, I believe once she understands that Mr Conductor is a good friend and stalwart companion, there will be nothing to fear.
