[ They're all cracking up now, aren't they? Is Anne...smiling at it? ]

You wouldn't rather keep a cat, or something?

[brimmed]

You think I should just send him back out onto the fucking street?

[calicoat]

The half-eaten rat in your hand? Oh no, couldn't possibly do that.

[brimmed]

When'd you get so high and mighty about not taking in strays?

[ Anne glances down at the rat, who's looking back up at her in an all-knowing sort of way. A little haughty, almost, but he's wearing it like that's justifiable. ]

I'm calling him Jack.

[calicoat]

[ Alright. Anne is devoted to a rat. Fuck it, he knows when to pick his battles. He puts his hands up and steps close enough to get a good look at the thing, and wiggles one finger at it. ]

Why? I've still got both ears.

[brimmed]

[ The rat looks back at him with a kind of placid curiosity, nose twitching as it stretches out to sniff a little, and Anne flattens out her hand so it can settle on her palm. ]

Just reminded me of you.

[calicoat]

A rat reminded you of me?

[ His first instinct is to take offense, but there's no point in that, is there? Anne was reminded of Jack, so she took the thing home. That's as grand a gesture as he's going to get out of her, isn't it? ]

I don't want it pissing in corners in here.
