Re: Greg and Pandora
Greg wrinkled his nose, openly disappointed. "Mrs McHavelock's cats keep wondering up here," he grumbled by way of explanation. "And then she shouts at me for hiding them from her!" As if he'd want to keep her stupid cats. Greg had no pets of his own and no particular desire to change that, certainly not by co-opting cats from his irritating landlady. He knew it wasn't Pandora's fault that she couldn't help him, and his annoyance truly wasn't directed at her - though whether that was obvious in his actions remained to be seen.
"I suppose." He didn't look at all convinced by her praise of his flat. "It's expensive." He'd had no idea just how expensive renting property could be. It hadn't been something he'd had to worry about before. Now it felt like he was spending all his (meagre) wages on a flat he didn't even like that much when he could - should - have been living at home exactly as before.
