Study Hall -- Thursday, November 10th

At the front desk, Sarah is teaching the puppies to attack a tiny toy robot. Most of them are gnawing cutely at it.

Due to the fond looks everybody has been casting at the corner of the room, she's brought the pool table back.

"I talked to Sun last night. Speaking of someone with few maternal instincts. Sea monkeys are a science project, not pets."

"She asked me to name them. It's her first pet type thing. I'm thinking of getting her something bigger, actually."

Parker rested her chin on her fist, looking speculative. "Like what? A gerbil? Hamster? Anything would be better, really." She rolled her eyes. "And make it something you don't have to bribe Faithful not to eat."

John shrugs. "Dunno. Something small that she could learn to care for fairly quickly but something she can physically hold. Hamsters and gerbils are good. Ferret might be too much for her."

"Mice or rats would be asking for trouble." Parker cocked her head. "A mongoose or a ferret would really suit her, though." She snickered. "Plus? I can see her training one to attack tiny robots, like the puppies over there."

"Really? You think a ferret would work?" John taps his chin for a moment. "I don't want her to get mad at me if she doesn't really want a pet though..."

Parker raises her eyebrows. "It is a responsibility, but... I think she'd like one. Maybe. No reason. I just think so..." She shrugs. "Ferrets are bright, self-reliant, and affectionate. Although some of them bear a startling resemblance to that Malfoy brat."

"You seem awfully sure that she'd like one," John remarks. He doesn't push though. "Know anywhere I could get a ferret?"

Parker grins, but doesn't share her thoughts on that subject. "Hmm. Mainland, I'd guess. That's where Zero got Vladdie for Rory. I wouldn't expect a pet store here to carry exotic pets, but you could always check."
