They did show up in the nick of time, didn't they? I never had pets growing up but hey, I'm happy to make up for lost time.

You've got a hell of a perspective on humanity, kid. I'd love to read a dissertation sometime.
[Well like. Fair. On a broad scale, people sucked. Richie doesn't look all too put out by it though.]
They are, aren't they? Little suck-ups. [Said with a bright grin and a hearty belly rub for the nearest corgi.] Not every critter's as keen on affection as dogs are, but there's a fair few that are.
