"Pardon me, but I do not believe we have had the pleasure of an introduction."

The tiger speaks with a hint of caution in his voice. After a brief pause, he continues to speak.

"Please forgive me, I am uncertain of what to say, but allow me to introduce myself."

He turns to face you directly, and his words are imbued with a subtle accent that lends a melodic quality to his speech.

"My name is Feng Yaolin, but you may also refer to me as Yao."
