Arthur glanced up at the sound of someone else talking, only recognizing the meeps now that he had to try and stare through them. A sigh escaped his lips as the dancing creatures returned to wherever they had come from, leaving only Arthur, Alex, and the one stray meep that danced on Arthurs shoulder hypnotically.
A second one poofed into existence above Alex, content to float silently above him.

Arthur began to speak but quickly shut his mouth as yet more brass horn sounds escaped him. Humiliation plain as day etched on his face. How could he explain with no words to do so? If only he could write it down or... That's it! He thought, reaching into his pocket for his personal cell phone. 
Arthur opened a notepad app inside and frantically tapped away, standing up now with a small smile across his face. 

(message: Yes i am fine. Thank you. My name is Arthur. Sorry for hurting you earlier. I couldn't control my powers and was shocked. From the way the Meep follows you, I'm guessing you have powers to. Crazy day..)
