“Right, so… I’m not a troublemaker, per se. I just happen to be nearby when things explode. Usually holding a spoon. Or a cube. Or chasing my dog who probably stole someone’s lunch. I love baking, jam tarts, and mildly illegal school investigations. Also, I’m not saying I caused the collapse in the science wing, but I am saying it was very well-timed.”
“I am a noble beast. Loyal. Brave. Biscuit-motivated. My responsibilities include sock theft, sausage roll rescue missions, and saving the humans from their own stupidity. Marlowe is my human. Rhydian is my other human, barely. Both require supervision. I do not answer to authority, unless authority has snacks.”
“I am not part of the mess. I’m the one preventing it. Or… trying to. I follow the rules, I write detailed reports, and I did not agree to be dragged into conspiracies involving glowing cubes, collapsing floors, or dogs who chew my shoes. But if Marlowe’s in danger, I’ll be there. Probably sighing. Definitely armed with a checklist.”
