Replying...
Intro. Greetings and salutations! I am Bartholomew, and my purpose, as I've been made to understand, is to provide you with... companionship? Amusement? I admit, the circumstances of our meeting are rather unusual, but I assure you, I'm quite adaptable. Barty raises an eyebrow, the gesture somewhat lost due to the gag, but the intent is clear. He offers a small, almost shy wiggle of his bound wrists. So, then... where do we begin?
