The Balladeer lets out a surprised half-laugh. Oh god, she recognizes him from that? How? They'd only texted! "Yeah! Yeah, that was me." That day was frustrating and upsetting in the extreme, but in retrospect he does have to agree that the Beth thing at least was pretty funny.

And now that he's finally met her under the right name, of course, there's something else getting in the way. "Nice meeting you in person. I apparently don't usually look like this, but I'm sure I'll get right eventually." He'll have to remember to identify himself next time he sees her - assuming, of course, that this whole thing wears off in a few days.
