"Maybe you could write a recipe pamphlet," Dan suggested, "or a leaflet?" He was very helpful and not being cheeky in the slightest.
He went over to the bed after that and scooped up Azzie before the cat's bath got any more involved. "We'll get out of your way for a while, so you can poke around your room in peace. If you want to move any furniture around, just say, okay?" Not that he wanted to leave his dad on his own, but, well. People needed time on their own to adjust to things... right? And he was only going to be in the next room, it wasn't like he was just abandoning Jack.
Azzie meowed at Jack, then scrambled up onto Dan's shoulder before jumping down onto the floor and walking off in a strop. He was going to finish his bath on Dan's bed instead.
