And while Monday seemed only minutes away, next week felt like it would never arrive at this point. Hell, he'd just gotten here and already there was talk of next week. No. Ethan wanted to enjoy the moment now. Who knew what was going to happen next week? And while he wasn't about to go sexy times on Neil right then and there, he was at least going to try and enjoy his company to the best of his abilities. Someone from the back shouted something about "rhino butts", which Ethan assumed had something to do with this mention of the zoo business. Of course, now they all had the giggles again.
"You always gotta go against me, don'tcha?" He gave Neil's hand a squeeze before parking the car and getting ready for disembarkation, which was even crazier than embarkation. And naturally, everyone wanted to get out at the same time, which meant that someone always ended up crying for whatever reason. This time is was Kitty who got kicked in the shin by one of the boys. She was much too old for Ethan to carry, so she basically just clung to him while he tried to duck waddle with her attached to him.
"I'm sure you'll live Kitty Cat. Probably didn't even bruise." He closed one door with his foot and grabbed Sansa's hand as she took a flying leap off the car, landing gracefully as ever on the ground again. "Did someone get Murtagh?" But he saw that Han had him, so he shut the rest of the doors and did a quick head count. "LAST ONE IN IS GETTING SOLD TO THE CIRCUS!"
