It's enjoyable to live each second uncertain if you're going to fall apart. [ He smiles in contentment, wheezing out a breath. His tail gives a happy little wag. ] I did just get it! I went to have that cup of tea, but you were sleeping. I thought it would be funny to chew on your hands to wake you up. [ Immediately, he lifts his hands up in surrender as he steps back -- almost pressing his back against the wall, giggling nervously. ] But I didn't, I really didn't. Your hands were absolutely fine when you woke up, right? Right? I didn't do anything!

[ His tone turns extraordinarily apologetic, because he realizes that the joke may be in poor taste. He feels his ears press down and against the sides of his head in an attempt to look even more sorry. ] Ah, I'm happy, I'm happy. [ With a hesitant step-slide away from the wall he has pressed himself against, he cowers behind Killer Queen. His antler pokes out behind the Stand before he peeks around at the question the shoulder. ]

I don't know Susan's friends. I don't know what they look like so I can't answer that. No, no, this is my fault and you're not at all involved in it! Not at all! [ He continues clinging and hiding behind the Stand; his tail gives small wags. ] I wouldn't do anything to cause you trouble. [ And he giggles after his words, muffling the laughter against the Stand. ]

That's right. That's why I killed her, too. An afterthought, but a good one! You would kill her when you came back, too, right? But I did so and so they'll just be mad at me! [ Another happy wag of his tail.

And weakly: ] I apologize about my joke about chewing on your hands, again.
