One party was plenty for me. They've got a pool in the backyard of that house an' I've got issues with water.

[Issues is a light way of putting it, but he's distracted by Scarlet scaling Yusuke's shirt to sit on his shoulder, clinging to him.] She wants affection. Well, affection that isn't Scout licking her. [He loves Manabu's dog, but Scout's licking is a bit much for a baby quoll who is still basically hand-sized.]

Movie's a good idea. That way I can still keep an eye on the animals. Manabu's a little worried about 'em, you know? Haven't had the heart to tell him Scout keeps sitting by the window and staring out at the street.
