When Bruno had first received Isabela's message he had been so happy. He had thought that he'd been reunited with his family, only to be stolen away again to a strange and frightening world with only his rats for company. Oh, the people here seemed very pleasant, but it wasn't the same as being able to be around his own family again.
But then Isabela said that she hadn't seen him in ten years, and everything felt topsy-turvy again. He didn't know how her memory of him might've been poisoned over the years, he didn't know what she'd been told or what she remembered. And he'd started to get himself into a bit of an anxious mess, until he realised - she wasn't afraid to come to his apartment, and she said she was glad to have found him.
He'd smiled a genuine smile, and felt a real warmth at her words. Still, as he waited, he paced and worried, and put up his hood and muttered to himself about not being afraid. He'd knocked the wooden furniture, and sprinkled sugar, and crossed his fingers, and generally worked himself into a bit of a superstitious tizzy with the waiting.
"Best behaviour," he told the nearest rat, Ernesto, who simply squeaked at him and pretended to be innocent.
