Chit looked up from the tightbeam and blinked.

"Whoah."

He read it again, just to be sure.

"I don't believe it."

He waited a few seconds. "Someone actually decided to do it!" he said, a little louder.

Derek sighed. "What, Chit?"

Chit whirled around, grinning. "A Fudd took me up on the conversion offer. [flick] He's on
his way! Well, not quite. I still have to send a date and time for the rendezvous. 
[dismissiveflick] But he's as good as fluffy."

"Oh. Cool. [shrugflick]"

Chit sighed, and scurried for the door. "I'll be back."

Chit crept silently across the darkened laboratory and put his paw on the back of the
squirrel hunched over the sink.

"I'm almost -- Chit!"

"Hi, Zander."

"I'm kind of busy right now..."

"Well, when you have time, can you tell Khyron that we're going ahead with it? [happyflick]"

Zander blinked.

"The mentat? The one you said would love to study the bunnyvirus in action?" Zander didn't
respond. "The one I told you to ask about setting it up?" Zander chittered slightly.

"I told you to get back to me if there were any problems. [sterngaze] There weren't any
problems, were there?"

Zander looked down, and twitched his tail slightly. "Er... not... precisely..."

"Then..."

"Because I haven't, exactly, *asked* him. Yet! [flick] But I'll get to it first thing--"

"No," Chit said, "We'll get to it. Now. [flick!]"
