Saint Roley? says Roo-kai.
Yes, Saint Roley, says Gaius. Tell us his story.
There is no such saint, says Roo-kai.
Wrong! says Terence.
But true, says Arthur. You named him Saint Roley.
Yes, I did, says Terence. So Saint Roley is such a saint, and Roo-kai is wrong.
Pfaa! says Roo-kai. Not a real one.
He's looking more alert now, says Gaius.
What happened to Saint Roley?
Floated away, says Roo-kai.
Wrong! says Terence. That was his...
Wait! says Gaius. Let's see if Roo-kai remembers.
His brother, says Roo-kai.
This is promising, says Gaius.
Or a lucky guess, says Arthur.
True, says Roo-kai. I did guess it.
He guessed it! says Terence.
Which suggests intelligence, says Gaius.
Thank you, says Roo-kai.
Shall we continue? asks Gaius.
Ask me another question, says Roo-kai.
Where to? asks Terence.
What? says Roo-kai.
Where did he float to? asks Terence.
No one knows, to this day, says Roo-kai.
I think we can safely say this bird knows the story, says Gaius.
What if the fake Roo-kai knows the story? says Terence.
A possibility, says Gaius.
Ask him about Buster, says Terence.
I know nothing about any Buster, says Gaius.
Which doesn't mean you're not the real Gaius, says Roo-kai.
Ha ha! Good one! laughs Terence.
What do you know about Buster? asks Gaius.
Buster... Buster.... says Roo-kai.
That's not enough, says Terence.
Wait, says Roo-kai. It's coming back now.
Did he run into a tree on purpose? asks Terence. And did I fall off? And then did Madame Ponty say I couldn't have a certificate? And then did you help me steal one?
Let me guess, says Roo-kai.
It's him, says Gaius. His sense of humour is back.
How do you know? asks Terence.
