Turtle Robert is just... walking around the village now, probably heading back to his Community Building, or maybe out doing some mundane task as his turtle self. He's mostly gotten used to being a turtle. Mostly. Hopefully he isn't breaking chronology doing this.
But when he sees Mulder's new body, galloping through the streets towards the forest, and hears the voice in his head - like with Winry Rockbell's form - he stops, dead, and turns to look. What...?
Blue? His colour spectrum vision is off, to be sure, but blue?]
... My word...
What an amazing non-human sapient. [Don't mind the giant anthropomorphic mutant red-eared slider staring at you, Mulder-as-Andalite.]

[Wow, is Robert really that obvious that even a complete stranger can guess this? Strange how others can read his emotions, but he can't read theirs'.
He kind of blushes and smiles shyly at this.]
Ah, well... he is my partner. [Robert gently curls his fingers together with some anxiety.] Hence why I think this form is... ironic for the Malnosso to give me.

[As for the partners thing, he's got pretty good intuition when it comes to reading things from weird species. And while there is some part of him that wonders how that works between a turtle and a human... he can at least have tact when it counts!]
< Now I see what you meant by that. Maybe the Malnosso have some kind of method to their madness after all. Turning you into a turtle, me into an alien... or what I assume to be one... though I'm not particularly close in the sense of significant others with any aliens. They're just my life's work. >

[It works in pretty much the same way all things with Robert work - awkwardly, stiltedly and only after applying a bunch of logic to it. But it works. Which is rare for a relationship that Robert is in...]
That certainly does seem to hold true in this case. Something... important or relevant to us, somehow. Like there's a distinct decision made on the behalf of the Malnosso, for each person...

[Anything they have on them could help, Mulder figures. He's just known them as this mysterious enigma so far since arriving.]

Well, it seems logical to introduce myself properly at this point. My apologies for not doing so sooner; your form was... distracting, to put it mildly.
My name is Professor Robert Alexander Hastings. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, even at this... relatively odd time.
