Thorn is unaware of anyone in the house putting out a call for a cab, and initially worries it may be some sort of mistake. In his experience cabbies are not always friendly, and likely to be even less so when being informed they're in the wrong place. Rather than open the door and go out to greet the driver, he approaches the front window and peers out between the drapes, attempting to remain hidden as he does so. He fervently hopes someone else will take care of it all.

Sarah also heads out for the front hall to investigate the source of the beeping and the engine revving, wiping her hands on her apron. When she isn't working, she can usually be found in the kitchen most days, baking cookies and other holiday treats.

"What's going on?" she asks Thorn before also peering out the drapes. She can sense Thorn's apprehension, and gives him a comforting smile. "He probably just has the wrong house, I'll go let him know."

She slips off her apron and heads out the door. It's a pleasant surprise to see Rat behind the wheel, and she beams, delighted. "Thorn, come on out, it's Markus!" she calls behind her.

Schreber is always the last one to get to the door and he's been working in the sunroom again. Or maybe not so much working and more poking around online or napping but he meant to be working some. He limps out and looks confused when he hears the door open because he assumed the car was in somebody else's driveway! He gets there while she is going out the door and looks at Thorn. "What's happening? Is it okay?"

With those long legs, Rat just can't quite get out of the cab fast enough, but he's out and leaning against the car with mock-casualness and a wide grin by the time Sarah reaches the front walk. He can't hold his cool for long though, and strides towards her beaming. "What do you think? Need a ride anywhere? As of today I'm officially a cabbie." His face is almost too narrow to hold that smile, and he's almost bouncing when he walks.
