Oh. Palisman. [A head tilt. He glances sidelong at the bird, scritching the top of his teeny tiny head.] Flapjack. That's even cuter!

[He loves this bird with all of his heart already.]

Uuuh, well! Not sure of the how. Just know that I, uh. "closed my eyes" on a ship and woke up out here. A lot of people end up that way, really. [Which brings him to squinting at the boy.]

How about you?
