Bunny Ends Up On Top

Bunny stands up. She turns to face Gaius and Katherine.

It's not right, says Bunny. And I'm going to do something about it.

What's not right dear? says Katherine.

How we're treating the Twitcher, says Bunny. Have we no moral compass?

Arthur looks sour.

Alright Arthur, says Bunny. It's really your money. But I hate cruelty to animals. Remember I was the one who rescued the Twitcher.

So you were, dear, says Katherine.

Who broke the window? says Arthur.

You broke it, says Bunny. But I got him out of the death box.

Who carried him around in his pocket? says Arthur.

You did, says Bunny. Because he stank. But the point is, we owe him protection. He's the reason we're going to Turkey. And Gaius, you've behaved worst.

Gaius turns pink. He knows that he has behaved worst.

So, says Bunny, I am going down to see Doctor Moussalli to sort everything out.

She marches down the aisle in the direction of Doctor Moussalli.

Phew! says Gaius. She has a sharp tongue.

Perhaps we deserve it, says Katherine. We regarded the Twitcher as a nuisance. And didn't think of his feelings at all. What do you think Bunny will do?

She'll end up on top, says Arthur. That's what she'll do.

To Ageless, this sounds suggestive. He moves slowly away down the aisle, to watch.

But Bunny is already coming back. Without the Twitcher.

Sorted, says Bunny. We'll meet up with the Twitcher in Kas.

But we're not going to Kas, says Gaius. Are we?

Some of us are, says Bunny. We are going to split up. That Doctor Moussalli is nice.
