<No.>

"You remind me of my cats."

She is silent.

"Yep, definitely a Rupert."

Still silent.

"I like your name."

<It was given by our creator.>

"What were they like?"

<Obsessed.>

"Think he'd be proud?"

<I do not know.>

"My mummy would probably want to study you and stuff."

<For what purpose?>

"To understand you."

<How will she do this?>

"I think she'd want samples of your blood and your DNA, maybe run some scans on your brain and x-rays."

<She will be bewildered.>

"That's science for ya."

<I could tell her what she will find.>

"What would she find?"

<She will not do this in the next few hours so I do not yet know.>

"Also, she might not take your word for it."

<That is unfortunate.>

"Mummy's nice, though, she won't do anything hurty to you."
