Apollo remained undisturbed, only hanging quite limp in Lloyd’s hands. He wasn’t stiff and his nose was moist and pink, so that was a good sign.

"A-Apollo?" Lloyd was worried now. He knew that Sabina would be very upset if her ferret died. What can I do? Lloyd gently scratched Apollo's head to see if he would react.

A minute or so later, Apollo blinked open his eyes drowsily and glanced at Lloyd with a very content—yet confused—expression.

Lloyd breathed a sigh of relief. He's not dead… He sat back on the floor, still holding the ferret. "If you're here… then where's Sabina?"

A very rattled Sabina knocked a bit too loudly on his door, “Lloyd!! Are you awake? Is Apollo in there??”

Lloyd was startled by the sudden noise, but answered the door with Apollo still in one hand.

When she saw Apollo she exhaled a great sigh of relief, “Oh good, thank you, so much!” She reached to take him, “He must have slipped out of my pocket last night.”

"He was just laying on the floor… I thought he was dead at first, honestly, but he seems to be fine."

“Ohh” she cradled him in her arms, “He does this thing called a ‘dead sleep’ because he’s so active he sleeps so soundly that nothing can wake him. As long as he’s not stiff, drooling, or moaning, he’s fine.” She pet Apollo’s cheek.

"Huh… I suppose that makes sense." He held out one hand for the ferret to sniff before gently petting him.

The ferret closed his eyes again to happily accept the affection.

“Hah, he must really like you…I don’t blame him.” She added the latter a second later, and quieter.

"Hmm?" Lloyd glanced up at Sabina. "Well, I'm not exactly sure why he likes me… I'm not particularly special."

“Hah, you just must have a pleasant energy around you, then. He seems to prefer being held by ‘chill’ people.”

Lloyd watched the ferret curiously. "I suppose so… I try to be relatively relaxed."

“Either way, he likes you. Thank you so much for finding him by the way.” She leaned down to kiss Apollo’s head.

"He sort of found me, but no problem." Lloyd laughed quietly. "So, uh… do you have any plans for today?"

“Um, I don’t know, do you want to study for your driving permit exam? I can help quiz you.”

"Alright. Is this the actual knowing how to drive a car or just street laws?"

“Mostly street laws.” She answered, “Pretty easy, anlot Of people pass the test in one try.”

Lloyd nodded. "I already read that textbook, so I should know it. Go ahead and ask anything."
(By the way I can't drive so we'll see how this goes lol)

(Lolol me neither, this should be fun)

“Okay then, so we could go to the BMV now if you want.”

Apollo flipped himself around to crawl into her pocket.

"I-I thought we were just talking about street rules? I don't exactly know how to drive yet…"

“The BMV is where you take the test, it’s alright, there’s now driving involved. We can even walk there.”

"Aren't you testing me to make sure I know it first? I was under the impression that that's what we were doing…"

“Oh! Shoot, I’m sorry, I got confused.” She laughed, face reddening, “Yeah, I can test you now, sorry about that.”
