"Emily, shush, it's ok, the maintenance crew here are some of the best, I suspect I'll be back in and not knowing anything was wrong within a few days." He smiled, his own voice relaxed and easy, "As for Indigo? I think that's the best exercise he's had in years, maybe I should take him running with me? But the fun thing is he'll come back when he's hungry, and he gets hungry quite frequently."
He leaned his head back against the wall, "My college buddies gave him a live mouse not long after I got him, that was my senior year? He looked at it, utterly horrified as it ran itself into a panic around the bath, until Indigo jumped out that was, he was what, oh, just a boy at the time. Couldn't have been more than a year old, but he really had no idea what to do with the mouse. Think he was more scared of it than the mouse was of him to be honest."
