It was words like that which would get stuck in Riley's head, settling there where he would obsess over it as he stared up at his ceiling at night, of ways to save Liam. There had to be a way, there was always a way. He looked over to Liam then and he smiled just a little bit. "I am doing it for Maurice." the orange cat with a single braincell. "He clearly needs a dad, and he has chosen you so..."

In so many words, "Also I have promised to come visit him, have I not?" him and Liam.

They were a package deal, according to Liam.

"You know, animals are good judges of character."
