Uh huh. I'm staying in my room.

Wybie

[tehoniongirl]

Good. I'm sure this isn't anything to worry about, but let me know if you see anything or anyone weird? I'll feel better...

[and she's totally going to stop by his room later, juuuust to make sure]

Jilly

[why_born]

I will, I promise. And hey, if you see a talking black cat around, looks kinda rough around the edges, he's from my world.

I doubt anyone's taking cats but he went exploring and I don't want him to get hurt.

Wybie

[tehoniongirl]

[that gets a smile] I certainly will. And I can check with the animal shelter to let Sakaki know to keep an eye out, too.

Speaking of which... how are your swamp ferrets?

Jilly

[why_born]

Thanks. He can look after himself, but he's still new here, you know?

They're great! Getting bigger, and they're eating real well.

Wybie

[tehoniongirl]

Of course. It's always good to have a few helping hands when you get here.

...bigger, huh? How big are they now? [casual Jilly is casual]

Jilly

[why_born]

I dunno, bigger. [Yeah he knows that casual tone] Are you okay?

Wybie

[tehoniongirl]

Still fitting comfortably in your room?

Of course. Just checking in. [trying to see if they're big enough to eat little boys, yet]

Wybie

[why_born]

Yeah, they like swimming in the bathtub.

[Paaause] Uh huh. Don't believe you.

Filter forever

[tehoniongirl]

[rueful laugh] I'm sure they do.

[you can practically hear the arched eyebrow] have I ever lied to you? I wanted to check in and make sure you -and they- were safe.

[why_born]

Oh, I believe that part. It's the you're fine 'of course' part I don't believe.

[tehoniongirl]

Well, I'm a bit worried by all the stuff going on with the missing people, but it's getting sorted out, so there's not much else to be done.

[why_born]

...Do they know who's doing it yet? [Because there's only one person he knows who steals people and he doesn't want to think she's here :/]

[tehoniongirl]

Not yet, but they're trying to find out. With so many people working on it, it should get worked out soon.

[why_born]

I really hope they do. ...And get those poor people out.

[tehoniongirl]

They will. And the people who were taken aren't helpless. They'll be alright. [able to find more confidence for him than she could find just for herself]
