[Glances up over the top of the novel, then back down --]

[Wait a fucking minute.]

[Looks again]

[iceandheather]

I see.

[Stares at it]

[Well, this is awkward]

[And those eyes are kind of... well...]

[iceandheather]

[He can't quite figure out what "Mööööööööööörg" is supposed to mean in this context.]

[Considers, then decides to try... petting it. Couldn't hurt. Won't bite, anyway.]
