Alice: [eyeing the cat] Good, I'm glad. I hope it won't be offended if I continue to keep out of biting and scratching range, however.
Marty: No, I'm pretty sure they either don't want the kid, or think it's a funny 'prank' to play on the humans. Or both. All about the amusement with them. [flexes his fingers] Worst stuff I ever ate were the meals at my Keeper's place. I mean, they tasted fine -- hell, some of 'em were probably major delicacies by human standards. . .but it was impossible to enjoy them after I knew the truth about the places. [winces as he rubs his guitar calluses] After my first concert.
Doc: [puts a steadying hand on Marty's back as Dee hugs his legs] We're out of there now. And neither of our Keepers seem that bothered about losing us.
Marty: Yeah, small mercies.
Alice: [grimaces] How horrible. Though I don't know what a sailor has to do to be so disliked, so. . .still. [tilts her head] True enough. And yes, I don't want to go down the well either. I like my mind in the shape it's in right now. My soul too, if that's a worry.
