That voice! That very, very familiar voice! As he hears it, he instinctively winces and steps back slightly, as if expecting to be greeted with the sting of a whip. "Muh... Miss Von Karma, sir!!" He then quickly snaps to attention and salutes her, before he starts lumbering his way towards her table. He had almost missed her with the change to her hair style. He does feel a bit confused as he approaches her, though. Not only did has there been no whiplash to greet him, but... he also feels like his hearing must be mistaken. Did she call him something other than 'Scruffy'...?

The detective comes to a stop, looming by the empty seat of the table. He's not sure if it's okay for him to sit yet. But as confused as he is, he does feel genuinely glad to see her again. "It's great to see ya! I- I hope I didn't keep you waiting long, sir!"
