"I know it wasn't your own doing. It seems to have been triggered by an
eyeball." "An eyeball!?" "An eyeball!" Sir Boris triumphantly reaches into his picnic basket and produces a glass jar filled with some sort of yellowish liquid with the aforementioned body part floating inside. He seems to relish the moment, smiling at Vincent's momentary shock. "Cat got your tongue, old chap?""How did!?---" Vincent stammers as he tries to compose himself, "Where did you!!?...You doltish dunce! You despicable dunderhead! You...you...dog dung! A dog's butt in your face, I say!" Sir Boris seems taken back by Vincent's last insult, "No need for that..." "By all the gods!" Vincent continues, "How in the name of all humanity did you get a hold of that!?"Sir Boris clears his throat "I should think you would be a little thankful. I know it's going to annoy the hell out of you, but we're going to have to work together on this one." Vincent is still flabbergasted. "How did you even get here!? I know it wasn't by YOUR doing...not by any of your elementary science, or ill founded magical theories..."Sir Boris cuts him off at this, "You know, I think Von Cushing was right about you! You know what your problem is, Priceless!? You're not a team player! You never have been! Withdrawing yourself into that lonely tower in the terrible northern wastes! Goodness, man! A little social interaction might do you some good once in awhile, maybe then you would have known I had found this eyeball months ago! My findings were published in every scientific journal in Verboten!" Vincent's face turns red. "Peter Von Cushing!? Oh, great! What's next? Are you going to start quoting Marcharvio now?"Boris chuckles at his contemporary. "Come now, Vincent. I thought you would know me better than that. That Hespanish hypocrite is no friend of yours or mine. Admit it, you need me, and I need you..." "We don't have time for this!""We'll make time! Now let's forget the past and concentrate on the future!" Vincent appears to have calmed himself by this point. "You're...right. I don't know how you could have got your hands on that eyeball...and it's beyond me how you've suddenly taken up inter-dimensional travel as a hobby...but you ARE here and you DO have the eyeball..." He sighs at this. "ENOUGH!" The Seeker has been silent throughout this entire exchange, but he cannot contain himself any longer. "You two haven't explained anything yet!? What's so important about an eyeball!? This is just getting more strange by the second!!!"Vincent sighs heavily again, "This is going to take a minute, and I'm almost tempted to have Bobo brew us a pot of tea. But...it's like I've said, as important as your quest to save the New Amazon army may be to you...in the ultimate scheme of things your staying here could have disastrous consequences. Before Boris here explains his part, I'll explain mine. I understand you have many questions. Now, about that eyeball..."
