[All right. Let him mull over this one for a while. Mom's been feeding her horror stories about the world outside the tower?]

Hey look, blondie. I wouldn't consider myself an expert on many things -- being dashing, sure. charming and handsome, absolutely -- but I've got to say I've spent a lot of time in the world outside your tower, and I think your mom's got some bad information.

Don't get me wrong, there are bad people and bad things in the world. But not... quite like what you're thinking.

Sorry, what the chameleon is thinking.

Gotta be honest, I'm kind of among the worst things you could run into, and you've handled me pretty well.
