Well, you ARE a triangle, so I guess that makes sense.

[Well, this guy... triangle... thing... person is pretty weird, but he looks more silly than scary and isn't trying to terrorize Ned. And he's being polite, if you don't count the obnoxious singing and appearing in a burst of flame! Ned still hesitates a bit out of caution, but takes Bill's hand and shakes.]

Nice to meet you, Mr. Cipher. But my name's not Spiral, it's Ned!
