If that's all you can come up with to say, I'm taking over.
Drax does his best to whisper, "Be my guest."
There is a sensation that Drax is falling, and then he's replaced by Drake Marshall. He leans heavily on his cane to get to his feet. "Wow, some fireworks display, huh?" Drake puts on his friendliest smile, "The guy in charge must be a big Lord of the Rings fan, huh?"
They either don't get the reference or they don't believe you, Drake.
"Shut up, I'm thinking..." Drake realizes that he's been speaking out loud and smiles even bigger. "Uh, hi. My name's Drake Marshall. I'd heard that the MBL was on this island and I thought it might be a good idea for my partner Drax to join up with with. As you may have guessed, Drax is an extradimensional dragon that I've been magically linked to."
Are you sure it's a good idea to tell them all of that?
