Meanwhile in BASIL'S HOUSE, BASIL would be seen with his caretaker, POLLY.

BASIL would take notice of you.

Oh uh...Hi. BASIL didn't look at you in the eye, he seemed awfully shy to meet new people.

POLLY would encourage BASIL greet the new person in house, She gave BASIL a warm smile.

From the looks of it, BASIL is shy when it comes to meeting new people. Do you still wish to talk to BASIL?
