It's floor time for Popp now, huh? Okay, sure, Avan understands that you gotta have floor time sometimes.

"Zaboera sounds very unpleasant indeed, but I'd never heard of him before you accused me of being him in disguise." No, he hasn't forgotten about that. "Crocodine sounds much friendlier. I'd like to meet him someday." Popp's phrasing sure does seem to imply that he never will, though. That's another little nugget of information Avan stores away for sorting out the timeline.
