There's really nothing for it. Obviously he can't hide what he's saying from this thing, and there's no point in trying, but he does pitch his voice low to direct this comment just at Connor. ]
The wielder of the Bee Miraculous has the ability to completely immobilize their opponents. To transform, they need only say "Pollen, buzz on!" and the magic will handle the rest.
[ While Pollen explains, Yu will carefully lift the comb out of its box, peering at it curiously. He handles it gently, but turns it this way and that. It really does look like a normal comb, for the most part.
Thoughtfully he'll frown, and he'll hold it up to Connor to see how it looks. ... nah, this would look pretty goofy on him as an actual hair comb. Let's hold it up to his lapel instead... ]
[He lets Yu do his thing, watching him curiously as he runs through the motions. When he holds it up to his lapel, Connor shakes his head at him.]
... I see. [Reaching up to take the comb from Yu's hand. Though the teeth snag on his lapel, effectively pinning in place. He doesn't try to remove it just yet, glancing over at Pollen first.] And what happens, exactly, after one has said Pollen, buzz on?
Pollen can't answer that, because Pollen is immediately sucked into the Miraculous. Cue a magical boy transformation sequence, although if Connor doesn't have his choreography planned out, that's fine. His costume and mask will still settle over him anyway.
[ Naturally, it's right as the magical girl sequence (?????????) ends, leaving Connor standing there looking like a bee-themed superhero, that they hit the ground floor and the elevator doors open.
The combination of these things is enough to more or less make Yu's soul evaporate from his body, so he doesn't move or even try to say a word while Connor casually reaches out to shut the doors and send them back up.
In the end Yu will just kind of brace a hand against the wall, sword forgotten as he leans over, holding his face in his other hand. He'll mutter something in Japanese, and if Connor has translation capabilities tucked away in that robobrain of his, he'll probably catch a few words which translate to "magical boy."
Anyway he's going to need a solid ass minute to recover from that experience, so don't mind him fucking dying over here. ]
Despite the general weirdness of the entire situation, Connor is relatively calm as the elevator starts to move back towards the penthouse. He brings a gloved hand up to his face, frowning as he feels around the domino mask. His frown intensifies when Yu braces a hand against the wall, mumbling to himself in Japanese. Guess who's fully fluent in Japanese? This roomba. Guess who also doesn't know what the heckie a magical boy is? This roomba.

Yu, more or less unfazed, just kind of blinks. ]
Hello.
[ ... ]
"Either"?
no subject
... Good evening.
[Hm.]
Are you referring to Ambition?

[welp.]
She's my queen. [The creature looks around, suddenly realizing that... they're in the elevator.] ...are you taking me somewhere?

Buddy. We made a mistake. ]
... we weren't exactly intending to, no.

We can't. She's been through enough.

He sighs.]
I didn't realize it was sentient.
[More to Yu than to their new acquaintance, but. You know. They're in an elevator. It's hard to be secretive.]
We won't keep you for long. But in the meantime, can you tell us about you? I've never seen a being like you.
[Since the elevator is conveniently taking A While.]

I am a kwami, and my name is Pollen. I serve the wielder of the Bee Miraculous.

"Bee Miraculous"... [Lifting the box up a little, so Yu can take a better look at the comb as well.] You mean this?
no subject
Connor, though...]
Yes, that.
no subject
Yu will blink exactly twice, and then murmur to Connor: ]
You wanna ask that one?
no subject
Could you answer his question, too? [Binch.] Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
no subject
I assist the wielder of the Miraculous in transforming to make use of my power.

Well.
That sure just happened!

After a beat:]
Are you alright?

no subject
Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about it.
[ that is just too anime even for the literal anime teen. anyway he'll straighten up!! shaking his head. ]
We should figure out how to get you back out of that. Maybe try "buzz off"? [ you know. buzz on, buzz off... seems pretty straightforward. ]
