( Gregory sure is squirmy. It takes a lot to hold on to him, even if he is half her size. Maybe setting him down would be easier, so she does, but she squats before him so she can meet his eye. )

Vanny? There's no one in the Pizzaplex named Vanny, silly!

( She has to laugh at that, even if it sounds a little rough around the edges. Something about losing her beak in another life, hm? Perhaps? )

And Vanessa is our friend! She always makes sure we have everything we need after our show. You shouldn't be afraid of her, either.
