Marco tilted his head. He could hear...something. Weird. It was garbled at first. But his head cleared, or something, after a few seconds.
He heard enough to figure things out. He at least realised this was a person, trapped in an animal body. It was a weird animal, not like anything Marco had ever seen before, but he'd dealt with an evil lizard, or whatever the hell Toffee was. And then there was Ludo. And Buff Frog.
Marco was no stranger to intelligent animals. "Oh. Okay. Um. Hi. I'm Marco."
