In retrospect, the fish tank in the common room probably wasn't the best place to *hide* an octopus.

Bridge was sitting on the couch, contemplating bringing Cam-Mollusc out for a playdate.

"He does have eerie timing when it comes to that," Bridge noted. Not that they knew this from experience.

[needsaparrot]

"And he always just looks at you. Like he doesn't have movable eyeballs maaaaybe he got it and maaaaaaybe he didn't, but he thinks you're kind of an idiot either way."

And by 'you' Xander mostly meant 'me.'
