Okay, that was a lot. A lot to take in. And much of it was occupied by dog. He'd seen dogs! Well, pictures of them anyway- and this was a big damn dog.

And it talked. Granted, he had no idea what that word was, but it was definitely a word and not a noise and oh! Person. There was a person there too. Talking. Which was much less impressive than the dog, admittedly but he also...

Huh. The strangest thing, he heard Esperanto but there was something... else. There. Like the lip movements were off somehow, like he was watching one of Nomi's shows, and that was fascinating. He tilted his head, looking over the canine and its rider with a smile. "Hello! You're new. Is this Earth? I've never been, it's all so green, it's mad- what's a Pokémon? Oh, is that what these animals are? I thought they looked funny, but more importantly how did I get here, because let me tell you last I checked I was a good ways from Earth and also my memory's schizophrenic at the best of times but I'm pretty solid on the lady in that house not being my mom. Anyway!"

He inhaled, straightening with a grin. "Hi! I'm Sol."
