Michael was on his way back to work from the Carnation Cafe, when he was hailed by a duck who, to his surprise, wasn't Fenton. He smiled brightly, waving as he approached. "Well, hello! We've got another Apprentice, already? Great! It's been getting pretty busy around here, extra help is fantastic. Welcome to the Kingdom. I'm Michael."

He held out a hand for a shake, with the demeanor of someone who was all too comfortable being the welcome wagon.
