[Here's a new face. A dead-serious, possibly even angry (or maybe that's just the eyebrows) face.

Fakir doesn't waste time. He holds a picture of a duck up in front of the Omni, taking up the whole screen. It looks...well it doesn't look entirely unlike this duck. Still holding the picture up, he starts to talk.]

If you find this duck in one of the traps around, do not eat it. Bring her to me to look after. I think she followed me from my world - I recognize her from there.

[100% foolproof cover story! Definitely impossible for anyone to poke holes in, given that people may have seen the duck last month and he's only turned up now.

He takes the picture down.]

Thank you.

...She doesn't talk, but she does understand people sometimes. [All the time. But he thinks that would sound weirder? Maybe.]

I looked out for her. When she ended up somewhere she shouldn't be, things like that.

Hmm. That does sound like a super smart duck then.

Like now? Because if there was a place that a harmless duck really shouldn't be, it's here.

[anagnorises]

["Super smart" may be pushing it...but that's as a girl. And she can be observant.]

...Yeah, like now. [And he'll keep doing it.]

[imaglyphwitch]

[As far as she knows, it's a duck. They're usually aren't the type to have an agenda].

Oh. Well, I'll keep an eye out! She looks really sweet!

[anagnorises]

Thank you.

[...She is sweet, sometimes. But he's not saying that.]
