Thomas handed Dodger his bowl. The Teddiursa took it grumpily, but his mood lightened considerably when Estelle said he was adorable. He grinned towards her toothily. Ratter, the Lillipup, sniffs the bowl and takes a big bite of food then sits back and munches on it happily. Her tail thumps happily on the tile floor.

Thomas, meanwhile, sat down in the chair opposite Estelle, hoping that he had saved face after forgetting about the Pokemon. He waves his hand dismissively. "Oh, you are quite welcome, Miss Heurassein. No trouble at all!" He sips at the bottle of lemonade. "Who is Yuri, if I might ask?" He thinks it might be a servant, which is intriguing. Servants were the first thing he noticed missing from this world. Even if Estelle wasn't from Earth, she acted the most like someone from home of anyone he'd met since leaving London. Maybe her world was like his somehow?
