Chapter six page 6

Terry leans over to look at Mouse, "Who's your little friend?" "Oh! This is Mouse! I found it running around the courtyard, it does tricks so it must be a pet." Casey shows Mouse off and asks, "Is it yours Jaren?" Jaren looks closely but says, "No, it probably belongs to Aria. She wants to train animals." Casey responds, "Oh Really?" "Yeah, wolves are her goal but we told her to start smaller. Mom forbade us from playing with wild animals, but mice are easy to hide. We talked about keeping some in secret before..." Mouse looks up at him cutely while he continues, "I can't believe she didn't tell me she actually got one! And then she lost it?! I wouldn't loose a mouse!" Jaren wines and starts tearing up. Terry interrupts his emotional decent, clasping his shoulder and saying, "Maybe it's a surprise? We can ask when we see her, Right now we're kinda busy." He quickly snaps out it, his outstretched hands going limp, "Oh right."
They sneak along a hallway, Jaren leading the way checking if the coast is clear while Terry keeps an eye out behind them.
