[What did Mrs. Brisby do today, one may ask. Usually there is no answer, as she does perfectly fine keeping to herself.

Not today. She shifts a bit uncomfortably, fidgeting. It's clear enough, at least, that she is incredibly uncomfortable.]

Can... someone explain what a "pet store" is to me? Or... explain what a "pet" really is.

I don't think I've ever seen such a dreadful and uncomfortable place...

Hehe, that's good. I just didn't want you to think I was rude or bored or something like that.

That's a good thing though, right?

[flyingdreams]

Lullabies are supposed to put children to sleep, right?

Of course! Timmy is a sweet boy.

[heirconditioner.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess that's true!

Then I am glad to hear that! It's nice to hear that I remind you of someone that you care about.

[flyingdreams]

Yes. It's good, I agree... I miss him very much.

I'm glad to see so many children here, but your mothers must be worried sick.

[heirconditioner.livejournal.com]

I bet...I felt the same way about my dad until he showed up here. Oh! Maybe the same thing will happen your your son one day. That would be nice.

Heh, maybe other people's moms are, but not in my case. I don't exactly have a mom to be worried about me in the first place.

[flyingdreams]

If my children show up, I sure do hope it's all four of them...

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know...

[heirconditioner.livejournal.com]

That would be nice.

It's okay though, you don't have to apologize! I have my dad, so it's okay.

[flyingdreams]

As long as they have each other, I think... they can take care of themselves. I don't like it, but...

Yes... I simply mean, I apologize if you were alive when she was lost. That's so hard...

[heirconditioner.livejournal.com]

Oh, no it's always just been me and my dad. My family situation is kind of...odd, to say the least. But it works!

["Odd" is putting it lightly.]

[flyingdreams]

[Well, she's assuming that you were adopted, now. Whoops.]

Well, that's wonderful to hear.

[heirconditioner.livejournal.com]

[Well...that's...not too far off the mark there, actually. Certainly a simpler explanation than ectobiology.]

Hee, yes. Um, so why were you asking about pets?

[flyingdreams]

Ah, well... I entered a place called a "pet store" because I could smell other mice, and...

[heirconditioner.livejournal.com]

Oh...

[Yeah...it just dawned on him that that could be pretty awkward when you're not a human. Good job, John. Good job.]

And I am guessing that you didn't like what you saw...

[flyingdreams]

I'm not really all that special. A-at least, back home, I suppose is the more appropriate way to say that. Johnathan was the one who was special, not me. So seeing other normal mice...

...Well, they... weren't normal in the sense I understand. It was like they weren't really there.
