Re: Quicklog: Jack & Newt at the B&B
[Pigs, Newt pedantically may have pointed out, were not so ignorant of other creatures as Jack may have been. In fact, pigs were quite intelligent. Very many animals were. But I suppose that's neither here nor there. The younger Penhaligon stroked the sleeping cat soothingly, with long pauses between the rhythmic movement of his hand, and he smiled at Jack as his brother looked up. The miniature expression sobered as he thought.] It is not my first treatise on the topic, but it will be my first book. [He scritched under Bukowski's chin if he was able, slowly rousing the small furry beast, so that he may stand. He was patient about it, however.
There came another smile at Jack's query back about 'the look.'] You appeared rather devilish there for a moment. Mischievous. I was wondering why. [He took a breath before answering about his own accommodations. He patted at his suitcase with his toe.] I don't need much.
