H-hi. Um.

I'mma be gone for a few - uh, for a day.

'Cause I was bad and I bit someone an' Batou says p-punishment is he gotta kill me. I don' remember doin' it but I know I did it and I'll never do it again.

But it's okay 'cause I'll be back an'then I can go for walks!

Hey Mister Batou is there stuff to do when you're dead? Like fetch?

But if you just bit someone you shouldn't have to die. Maybe just get bit too.

N-no, but I but someone really important. She's like... she's not a Master, but I bet she would be.

*Toboe whimpers a bit*

But death isn't a good way to punish people.

[fetchthestick]

Whatever th'Master says is good punishment is good punishment.

Batou's real nice. He says it won't hurt. If I'd done that back home...

It'd be bad.

[Actually his Masters wouldn't have held him culpable in this situation but all Thom knows is how other pets (generally feral captures, not umpteenth-generation pets) have been punished for assaulting their owners. It's not pretty...]

But you sho--*he cuts himself off with another whine.

Toboe thought maybe he should die too after what he did to Granny...so he thinks he might understand. And its not like Thom won't just come back*

..okay. If you think its right.

[fetchthestick]

It'll be okay. I'll just be asleep and then I'll wake up.

[Even if that wasn't the case, Thom would be unlikely to put up a fight.]
