Toby came bouncing into the room, his chocolate lab puppy in his arms. He also had the little fuzzy cat toy he had gotten for Nermal for Christmas in one hand. "Hi," He paused when he saw that Sarah had company, but he recognized the man as Nikki's nurse, so he figured that showing off his puppy's new trick wouldn't hurt.
Depositing the little chocolate covered lab on the carpet, he grinned eagerly at them. "Look what I taught Yogi to do!" He knelt on the ground and waved the little pink fuzzy at the puppy, who had been named both for Yogi Berra and Yogi the Bear. The puppy looked at him, tilting its head with a curious look on his little face, then tried to jump on the fuzzy in a less than graceful gesture. "Look, Sarah, I made him think he's a cat! I'm sure he'd love to wrestle with Nermal later."
Toby smiled impishly up at her. Despite what anyone might think about him naming his sister's animal form, he had done it for reasons just like this. Everyone likely assumed Nermal was a normal cat that lived at the Hyperion, but only they knew the truth. He could suggest things for the giant panther without anyone being any the wiser.
