[SURPRISE, IT'S MORTIMER. Who is a Very Smart Mouse, he'll have you know. Smart enough to understand how the Gear works, at least, given that he's waving like he's well aware that someone else is on the other side of it.]

Denne!

[Hearing the cry of his species, Dave's Wiglaf turns aside from the chat he was having with Wart and scampers over to and up Dave like he's a jungle gym. He reaches Dave's shoulder, twitches his whiskers a few times as if he could smell Mortimer over the 'Gear, and despite not having an olfactory answer, decides Mortimer is Okay People and squeaks a return greeting.]

Dedenne!

[Dave has to cover his mouth. It's too cute. This is too much. His cheeks are gonna break.]

Right. Dude, this is Wiglaf, 's nice to meet you and such. And how're you doing this fine day?

[occultigen]

[As a matter of fact, he is...actually about to prove he's Smarter Than The Average Bear Mouse™, as evidenced by a quick scamper to fuss around with the Gear, an abrupt disconnecting of the video, and moments thereafter — ]

[Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. OH MY GOSH.]

Heeeyy, Wiglaf, dudeski can write! Holy shit, that is so cool.

[At this point, Wart's gotten curious, too, and comes over to watch over Dave's shoulder as he replies, reading aloud as he types for Wiglaf's benefit.]

[Dave blinks for the second it takes to parse the message, then chuckles and looks at the little mouse on his shoulder.]

I think he wants to be friends with you, Wig. You game?

[Wiglaf hides his face in busy-grooming paws for a second, but then peeks up and nods.]

Denne!

[Dave smiles and returns the answer.]

[Wiglaf taps Dave's neck with his tiny paws before he can move to answer, then scurries down his arm (it tickles, it tickles so much) to balance precariously at his wrist, tail held carefully. He tilts his mousy little head towards the 'Gear.]

Denne?

[Dave looks confused for a second, but then Wart taps his shoulder on the other side, mimes typing in his hand, then nods at Wiglaf.]

Oh! Oh, yeah, okay. [Dave grins, then points to the Y.] That one first, buddy.

[After a moment comes the reply:]
