[He debated with himself whether he wanted to even do this, but he feels as though it's probably the most painless way of going about it. Just get everything out on the table right away, right? That's best. He even types on his actual keyboard; he needs this to look respectable, and it won't if half the punctuation's missing and it's got his accent written in. That's the only downside to typing with his mind.

He starts about three different times, deletes them all, and finally settles on:]

Hello. My name is Dr. Fiddleford McGucket, and you don't know me, but I used to know you a long time ago. I figured I ought to contact you now, like this, before running into you out in public and potentially causing a scene. You were a good friend to me back then so I'd like to be a good friend to you now. If you have any questions or need anything to help you handle settling in here, please don't hesitate to let me know.

[... It's a good thing Elsa's not from a world where technology is a thing, or else this would've sent up kiiiind of a red flag. Like geez it reads like some kind of nigerian scam mail! Even as it is, Elsa does think it's a little odd, but... well. A lot of people here are very different from how people are in Arendelle.

It takes a while for her to respond because... well. Anna only just showed her how to work this thing the other day, but at least the response is legible...!]

Hello Fiddleford! I'm sorry to say that I, indeed, do not remember you, and I'm very sorry. This isn't the first time this has happened, though, so this isn't... as weird as it could be.

If we were friends before, then I'm sure we could be friends again! I um. Hope it isn't too awkward for you.

[HE WAS JUST TRYING NOT TO COME ON TOO STRONG... god, there really is no good way to do this, is there?]

Oh no, not really. I've been here long enough it's something I've started to expect. This sort of thing happens more often than I'd like, but I figure you're still the Elsa I knew and there's no reason to treat you any different.

Unless that'd make it awkward for you?

To be entirely honest this is the first time this has happened to me personally.

[Ford doesn't count. Ford was a special case.]

I admit, it would be a little odd, though not in a bad way. I don't think I mind it at all.

It'll be nice to have some friends in a strange land like this.

I can tell you from experience it'll be invaluable to have other folks to lean on. Dealing with a place like this all alone would be awful difficult.

Would you like to get together for coffee sometime? If that wouldn't be too odd for you. Just feels strange knowing things about you when you don't know that much about me.

I can imagine. I admit, that isn't how I normally prefer to do things, but if I tried to make sense of everything going on around me in this land, I think I might just go insane.

I would like that! My sister brought me to a cafe when I first arrived that makes amazing hot chocolate, so we could meet there if you'd like.

That would be lovely. My schedule's all kinds of flexible right now so you just let me know when you'd prefer. Day or night doesn't matter.

Not that that's a concern for you yet exactly but you'll learn some folks are nocturnal and it makes working things like this out more difficult.

Oh, mine's the same. I've been trying to wander Bavan for a bit to get my bearings, but other than that, I don't quite know what to do with myself just yet. I'll find something soon, I'm sure, but for now, I'm completely free.

I can see why something as simple as a meeting in a cafe would be difficult... I can't imagine adjusting to having to live in the dark instead.

Ah, I hope this doesn't come off as offensive, but so I know who to look for... what sort of monster are you?

[She still cringes a little, using the word monster. It just doesn't seem right, using it to refer to the people who have been so kind to her, to refer to her sister like that... but what else can she do, until she learns the names of the creatures they've been turned into?]

Oh no. It's not offensive at all. It's a reasonable question here, it doesn't bother me.

I'm a naga. Half-snake, half-man. I've got eyes and stripes that glow blue so I'm hard to miss.

Glow??? Well that's certainly unique! I imagine it might make sleeping a little difficult, though.

Well, the funny thing about that is I don't sleep anymore. So it all works out just fine!
