I'm not an adult yet! ...am I?

Hazel had really thrown him in the deep end this time. He was the last person who should be given a pup… but here he was. He couldn't say no to Hazel, and he understood the connection Spider has to her past. If this was what she wanted… he would give it a go. For her. He would just have to hope they didn't mess the kid up too much.

He was tempted to ask Halo and Mort for advice, but they seemed so frazzled with six under paw that it seemed unfair to bother them about their one. So, instead, he bundled Spider up warmly and placed them on his back. Trotting out of the tree house, his red Panda companion seated behind them, helping to keep Spider steady if the tiny thing needed it. He kept his gait smooth, as he moved them out into the woods. "So… Spider." He said, as if he has any idea where he was going with this line of thought. "What do kids, uh… do these days?"
