"Oh yeah. He's very friendly. Never met a stranger, have you buddy?" Megan said, ruffling Niles' fur. "And I don't think he knows how to bite people, just lick them to death."
She thought for a second about eating with this guy. He sounded a bit older, at least, and as much as she normally had misgivings about hanging out with men, she decided to take a chance. Not like I'm having too much luck finding women on this thing, apart from Emily. "Sure, why not," she said, putting her arm out. "And we're okay. I've got a broken rib or something, but it's not too bad. And Niles did just fine. We were in the greenhouse, so aside from a couple of tables, most of what flew around was soft." She paused for a second. "How about you? You get out okay or did you break your leg or something?" She hadn't heard crutches, and he seemed to kneel down to pet Niles okay, but you never knew.
