Something akin to a harrumph rumbles out of the older man, a veiled look of confusion to accompany it. He has no idea what a video game is, but the connection seems to serve as explanation enough for Beatrix so it mattered very little if he understood it. Her next comment draws even more confusion, but before he can ask what a nickel is it sounds as if someone else has arrived.

He blinks a few times, looking this way and that. No one else appears around them. His brow knits together in deep concern. The question forgotten for the moment, "Forgive me, but it sounded as if there's another speaking..." There's a sigh, resigned almost. "I should ask if something gotten into the water supply again."
