[Whether Varian knows pandas or not is a mystery to me, but if he knows penguins he prooobably knows Pandas? He's just only ever seen them in books, maybe. Either way, he can't help but smile slightly at Farrah's reaction to Ruddiger, who is instantly receptive to the attention.

If she wants to pet him, he like, totally wouldn't mind. He's a glutton for attention, this one.]

I'm glad you think so. I'm super weird too, so I figured we'd make good pals.

[Said as he brushes a hand over Ruddiger's tail.]

Kindof...gave him a scare earlier, but it's alright now.
