at Orlando's house

Clay let himself in and let out a whistle. Julie knew who he was now and had decided that he was acceptable company. Clay changed the water in her bowl and measured up food for her. Then he showed her that he had remembered to bring a piece of string. He'd gotten the silent treatment the night before. No string.

Julie happily pounced the string and Clay sat down on a kitchen chair, preparing himself to play with her till she got tired of it. This would happen much more quickly with her than with Darth Maul who believed that no string should be left alive.

Clay nods. Okay. In that case I would like to use your bath.

He smiles.

Orlando grins widely. "You know where it is." He reaches over and pecks Clay on the cheek with a light kiss. "Help yourself. I've got to go back to the hospital."

Clay gets up and gives Orlando a quick hug before heading for the bathroom. He draws a bath and it does help with the vague pain in his left knee. He almost drops off to sleep in the tub.

When he is done the house is empty and quiet but Julie mewls loudly when she sees him and he doesn't have the heart to walk out on her. So they play a bit with the string. He ends up lying on the couch, with Julie sneaking around on the floor.

He is just going to rest his eyes for a bit before going home. Just for a little while.

Julie looks up at the warm friendly human on the couch, and then clambers up next to him. He looks like he's napping and she decides that's a fine plan.

She prods at his side until she's made a comfy spot, then lies down and primly curls her tail over her nose.

This human is completely acceptable.
