Hello, gentlemen! [ Here's his smiling face, bright hazel eyes and blond hair. He looks keen. ] I should be very interested to explore your library. You're quite right, of course, it's best to know what we'll be getting ourselves into.

I'd be interested in hearing your personal account of the other worlds you've visited, as well, if you didn't mind speaking of it.

[ Hopefully one at a time, without interrupting each other. But he'll take what he can get. ]
