"Those names are so cute." Cisco said as he turned to Hartley so he could see him talk, reaching out to gently stroke Rathaniel's head. He seemed to back away and then came back for more, unsure and nervous but definitely wanting to play with the others. "It's cool, I'm patient. He'll wanna play soon."

When Rathaniel finally climbed onto Cisco he moved very slowly towards the coffee table and stood there, three rats on his shoulder, back and trying to get down his arm like he was some kind of human playground.

"You look hot."
