The Advantage of Being Forgotten

"Rover, and this is..."

When Rover and Mo Bai arrived, Professor Mornye looked up at them.

"Mo Bai."

Before Mo Bai could introduce himself, Rover said his name for him.

Mo Bai rather liked being looked after by a friend.

"Professor Mornye, how did the investigation into my Tacet Disc go?"

Mo Bai stepped forward and asked about the Academy's findings.
