[Arthur had been doing some washing up--not that there's much; it tends to bother him when he leaves it for the next day, but sometimes he's just too tired from a long night of social interaction to finish it--when he's pulled from his focus by a strangely metallic knocking sound.
He sets down the glass he'd been working on and makes his way to the door. He'd never actually spoken to the man in person, but anyone who can appreciate a record of good rock music is automatically lifted in Arthur's estimation, and he's excited about having an opportunity to actually play them again. There's a smile playing at his mouth when he unlocks the door--
But then he opens it, and takes in who's actually outside the door. Closes his eyes, opens them, and by the time he realizes he's staring his mouth is already open.
Flushing deeply, he steps back--but can his guest make it through the door? He can't even tell if the red and gold metal is some kind of space-age suit of armor or if it's an actual body.
Behind the man--robot? Man in armor?--is a large crate, and if that's how big his stereo is going to be...his heart is already picking up speed.]
