[Lyle is sitting at a table in one of the restaurants. he waves at the sphere in a rather un-Lyle-like manner, cheerful but a little nervous. the remains of a meal are in front of him, as well as a half-finished pint. and is that a used ash tray in the middle of the table?]
Hey everybody! Guess it's kinda been a while. This is Oliver. [he has a feeling most people have worked that out by now, considering the Brummie accent, but he figures it's better to be clear] Sorry about disappearing like that. For anybody who heard or saw what happened, don't worry. Ever since I...uh...changed into Lyle [smiles wryly] all my injuries have been gone. So I'm just fine now!
[his expression grows a bit more serious] But Doctor, Lyle, Riku, thanks a lot for helping me out. I owe you all a pint or two! Well, or a cuppa, Doctor, if you'd rather. [grins]
Anyway, the Doctor's been catching me up on what I've missed. Luckily, I had my sphere set to record any messages from this one friend, so that's been... [trails off suddenly, frowning slightly. his gaze turns thoughtful for a moment before snapping back to the sphere. perhaps he's not quite as okay as he's claiming?] What was I...oh, yeah! If anybody thinks there's anything else I've missed that's important, let me know, okay? [scratches his head; sheepishly] I've been out of it since we came back from being small, so I guess I've missed out on rather a lot.
Oh, and one more thing! [looking very awkward now] Just in case you're with me, the Doctor says I might pass out again when I switch back to my own body. [quickly] But don't worry! I'll be fine, and if you just let the Doctor know, he'll fix it. [smiles reassuringly] Sorry, but you're all stuck with me now!
