Gweheheh. Feeling a little heavy over there? Is your guilty conscience weighing you down?

Or is it the weight of the gravity well I’ve snuck underneath the stadium yoinking you down to the ground?!

The crowd loves it, so I give them a little sugar, waving my antennae toward the seats and ensuring every corner of the stadium gets a look at my best profile angles.

Time to humble some hatchlings again.
