[ ray's flipping through pages of a book that contains his own hanwriting curiously. he looks up and his eyes soften when he looks over trinket, who's been at this woman's side all her life. what a heartening story. ]

Oh, wow. That's really sweet-- you two must be super close. [ he sounds a little wistful, even. then he remembers his manners (which are often usurped by his excitability) and holds a hand out over his book to shake. ] I'm Ray, by the way. Thanks for not asking Trinket to chomp off my head or something.
