"Huh?" Nicolas grunted. He sat up from the floor once he heard a child-like voice _"Soundwave?"_ Phones suspected that this was came from the transforming mage near him. Nicolas scratched his head and jiggled his head from side to side. "Soundwave....soundwave. Soundwave!" Nicolas practiced hearing the name out loud. His head then nodded and he gave a thumbs up. "I'm fine with it."

 His head then tilted to the side. "Again?" His eyes squinted as he tried picturing the person's face. He couldn't really tell at the moment if the shape-shifter was a male or female. The best option would be to wait until a pronoun is used to describe the transformation mage. "Oh, wait. You're the cat on the train. Oh, yeah." Nicolas' eyes shifted from left to right. "Hello to you too...Tom...cat. Tomcat." 

 Nicolas turned to his side. "Hmm, Tomcat? Tomcat...Tomcat." He whispered under his breath. He then could feel the red-haired women poke him. Giving her a confused look, he stood up. "All I need to know is what I am doing and I'll be ready to go." He said with confidence.
