"Hail and well met, Dark Knight of the Southern Lands...it was indeed an honour to meet at last upon the field, at the Inn of the Wide-Eyed Owl.. Your mastery of the storyteller's art serves you well..as always, your words flow upon the page like Quicksilver itself...perhaps a suitable name for your curious bird-like creature but, yet I know not...
I look forward to our next encounter, and the chance to gaze upon the fabled "Thunder" and to hear the rumble of its exhaust note..."

With all apologies to The Bard, of course..
