All depends on the fit with pants. It's why I usually end up in skirts.
That's an incredibly sweet reason to steal a goat. I'm glad it made it over, and that it has a new life somewhere. Hopefully still alive, and if not that it was for a good reason.

Flowy skirts do look extremely comfortable. Easy to snag on something, but comfortable.
He was sweet, yeah. Not what first comes to mind as a therapy animal, but I suppose any animal could be one.

That's why we made mini skirts a thing.
Yeah, not everyone can think outside the 'cats and dogs and bunny rabbits' idea of what a sweet animal could be. Snakes are very sweet, too, for example, but most don't even give 'em a chance.

I’ve actually heard from more than one person about snakes being used for therapy. That letting them slide through their fingers helps calm them down.
Horses are also big therapy animals. Less common but I’ve heard of cows doing it, too.

They are precious little things. Angel Hair liked to curl around my wrist while I played, and the first time I got to have temporary custody was back in Denver. She really was a little therapy snake, whether we thought of it like that or not.
I can see both. Any animal, really, so long as it's got the right temperament for it.

She sounds like a well-socialized little lady. I'm sorry I haven't gotten to meet her. I haven't held any snakes in a long time. When I was a little kid I did when I found them. As I think most kids do. Thankfully, none were venomous.
Yeah, to each their own. I'm still not buying Jesper another goat for the house.

She's back in Vegas, but if they comes out to visit I'll make sure you're properly introduced. Catching them out is good, though. We only ever tried to catch frogs.
You could always get him a stuffed one.

Did you name them?
I think that would just keep Milo in the forefront of his mind. If I just ignore it I hope he’ll distract himself.

I think I named them all 'Frog Junior' and all the ones Sam caught were 'Mister.'
He is highly distractable. Almost as distractable as me.

I can’t say I’ve ever had another option, but I’ve never needed a power greater than my mind.
Though it doesn’t hurt to get underestimated in a fight, either.
Nobody can be there to watch over someone all the time. [As soon as it’s out of his mouth, he knows it’s too true to leave without brushing past it.]
Not to mention the horrible drink concoctions he makes when left unsupervised.

Corrupt clergy, politicians, and police. Financial capital of the world who claims to stay indifferent to the world’s affairs while pulling the strings from behind. A mysterious council of Grisha to mirror the Merchant Council. I can’t fathom what gave you that idea.
[Ketterdam is a festering hole of greed, lawlessness, cruelty, and ambition. It’s certainly where so many assassinations take place, both in the embassies and well outside of them.]

I suppose it’s at least not frog puns.
Indeed, it’s reassuring to know I can just point to a squirrel if you two are ever conspiring.

No, frog catching came before we developed our pun skills.
Are squirrels even nocturnal enough for that to be a game plan for you?

When did the puns start?
Don’t underestimate any rodent is what I’d say. There's bound to be some with a disjointed sleep cycle and penchant for distraction.

Took us a minute... I think I was 8? Summer of '51 or '52. Dad found us a book of 'em. It was terrible.
And here I was expecting you to make a joke about bats.

8’s not that bad. I’ve seen some of those pun books, though. It’s definitely starting off at the bottom.
I thought about a pun, but couldn’t be too predictable.

It was definitely a minor competition with us, figuring out better puns than the ones in the book. Kinda think that'd been Dad's plan the whole time, for his own personal amusement.
You say that like predictability would tamper how much I like hearing you do puns.

Given what you said about him appreciating a lie if it was entertaining, that doesn’t surprise me.
I’ll keep that in mind the next time an opportunity arises.

He was a singularly entertainable kind of man.
Thank you. I'm looking forward to finding opportunities for puns to give to you.

You'll be hard pressed to find one these days.

Very classy, I quite like the whole mood in here.

No. He'd got called up, right after I was born, but having factory work kept him home.
