[Pardon Rashid while he's enjoying the music a little -too- much. And it seems he's found some new threads while he's at it.]

This is much better than a few days ago. I feel like a million bucks!

[And speaking of bucks, there's a large oryx behind him. He sort of nudges Rashid and demands pets.]

Oh, and don't mind my new buddy here. He's really cool. Just showed up after this weird sound and wanted attention. This is normal around here, right?

[Please say yes.]

You mean he'll do worse than beating hearts without a body that make no sense?

[Oh great. He groans at that short response.]

Oh, well, I am Rashid.

You?

Nice to meet you, Shadow.

This guy? He's an Arabian oryx, my country's national animal. And now that I think about it, I should probably name him.

Isn't that what people normally do with pets or non-human companions?

[So he's told, anyway.]

It could be if I spent more than like two minutes thinking of a name.

[He might already have one in mind!]

How does Nash sound?

[He may be speaking to Shadow. Or maybe the oryx. Who knows.]

[Shhhh... don't ruin his fun. Yet.]

It's the name of a guy I knew back in my world. Don't know what happened to him, but he seemed like a good person.

[Other than the whole "brought back to life" part.]

Sometimes, but not always. I know people like to name their pets after all sorts of things or a characteristic.

Like Fluffy or Shoe.

It can get pretty ridiculous. Imagine having to be called Shoe for the rest of your life.

Which is why I was thinking of Nash. It's a bit less ridiculous.

Thanks.

It was nice talking to you!

[It's all good. He's just happy chatting with people. And talking hedgehogs.]
