"Really? You would do that? Offer me a place to stay?"
Jake had sort of gotten tossed into poor Frank's home (whether he had wanted him or not) the last time he was on Earth. Thankfully that had worked out for both of them. And Jake got to meet Lucybell (meow!) which was wonderful. But since arriving here in The City, as he had learned to call it, Jake hadn't met many (if any) people like Frank. It had been rather disconcerting, to tell the truth. And being a cat, it wasn't easy for Jake to start conversations with people.
Most people thought they were crazy whenever he tried to initiate conversation.
"That would be swell! And tuna fish, too? Oh you have no idea how happy that makes my stomach. Are you sure I wouldn't be a bother? I mean ... I wouldn't want to be an inconvenience. But maybe you could also help me find a garage or some place to store my ship? I'm a little worried about leaving it alone in the park. Doesn't seem very safe."
