He stood at the podium and placed both hands on the sides, the wide round sensors that served as his eyes reflecting the camera flashes that slowly dwindled, as did the soft applause and cheers he patiently waited out.

"Thank you so much for your invitation, your acceptance and this recognition I still feel I do not truly deserve." There was a small return of applause and some louder cheers but folks were still being accommodating about his need for a softer environment.

He silences them gently with raised palm, gloved hand elegant.

"At this most auspicious of opportunities, please allow me the indulgence of gazing upon you all with mine own eyes."
