Grant,

Come get her. I could use the company. We're going stir-crazy in here.

Malcolm,

If you're crazy going crazy, then it should be a relief to get out for a walk and bring her to me, wouldn't it?

Grant,

Spoken like somebody who's missed the latest round of Hogwarts-style mass hysteria. However, since my tentmate is allergic to cats, I will brave the house-elves with cattle prods. If we're not there in 20 minutes, have Ellie call out the Marines again, please?

Fifteen minutes later, only slightly singed, Ian knocked at the door to Grant's quarters. In his hands was a very squirmy kitten who was excited to be smelling familiar smells at last. Behind him, he could hear Billy's footsteps, and wondered why he was hanging back.

His official reason? Cat.

His unofficial reason was a sinking feeling that even a simple errand like dropping off a cat was probably going to end very, very badly. Shotgun (cattle prod?) weddings generally weren't good news.

Laura and Galahad answered the door, and the treecat bleeked a greeting to Dog.

"Dr. Malcolm, good to see you again...Billy? Hi! Wasn't expecting to see you, but Alan'll be thrilled. C'mon in, guys."

Grant took the kitten from Malcolm, and gave her a scratch on the head before setting her down on the floor. She bumped up against his legs, demanding more attention.

He looked up sharply when he heard Laura mention Billy, and sure enough, his former student was standing in the hallway. "What are you doing out there?" he asked. Wait, that wasn't quite the right question. "What are you doing here?" he clarified.

return owl to Dr. Grant chance_silvey August 27 2007, 05:19:59 UTC

Dr. Grant,

As a matter of fact, I might, so the offer's much appreciated. Especially if you've got anything on the following:

- Pliosauroidea during the Middle Jurassic period

- the 'Mammal Equation'

- Pastries of the ancient Greek city-states ... yeah, I know it's a long shot

- This one's an even longer shot, but anything on folk ballads about the Big Rock Candy Mountain.

Best,
Chance Silvey

Dr. Silvey,

I'm not going to ask, but I can tell you that the answer's no on the last two. does this have to do with that 'Caketown' you were asking about? Are you looking for some sort of cookbook?

The first one I think I've got some info on. I've got back issues of the Journal of Vertebrate paleontology that I can dig through, or you can just take the stack. Mammals should be no problem. Anything more specific?

Dr. Grant

Dr Grant -

I should be most happy to avail myself of such bounty, and will perhaps drop by later this afternoon if that would not present an imposition. May I inquire as to the safety and success of your travels?
