Rich was very confused for a few seconds - visiting the squid? is that a euphemism? oh, no, no it's not - but now he's back on solid ground.
There are three types of viewers who recognize him as the Storyteller most often: kids, obviously; parents, usually young mums, who want to have a flirt; and other adults, usually college kids but not always, who do watch kids' television for a variety of reasons, many of which tend to involve being high.
Arthur is, for some reason, triggering the responses to both the first and third groups. At least it's not the second group. Rich hates the second group.
At any rate, he's in poised Storyteller mode by the time Arthur has stopped talking, which makes this the first bloody time he's been anywhere near poised since he struck up the conversation with Martin.
"No?" he says. "You'd be surprised how many do. I've a few tell me I cured their insomnia."
