Ferris pinched her fingers together "just a bit." She glanced around "where is the little thing anyways?"

“He’s in the media room just across from my bedroom. Down the hall.” He replied, “Would you like to see him?”

She nodded shyly "sure." She stood slowly, letting him get up first

He hoisted himself up with the cane, suppressing a small grunt from the effort, “Okay, it’ll be just a second.”

She nodded And started walking around." Mind if I look a look around "she asked

He thought for a moment, “Um..yeah, that’s alright.” He stood up straight and stretched, “All good.”

"you're sure? I can just stay on the couch." She said, feeling as if she had intruded.

“You at least wanted to see Sam.” He leaned against the wall on his right shoulder, “He’s a teddy bear hamster, or at least that’s what the pet store said.”

She nodded and sat back down on the couch "does that mean he's fluffy?"

“He’s really soft and supposed to be really docile. But he really does have a personality.” He humored.

"I'm sure he does, he just hasn't had the opportunity to show it," she said with a bright smile

“I’ll go get him then.” He mirrored the smile and turned to go get his hamster from the media room.

Ro nodded and glanced at the walls around her, the couch she sat on, the small things on the side table.

On the side table he had put a candle, a used, empty water glass, and a portrait of a young woman with long brown hair cascading in curls over her shoulders. He’d also hung a few paintings around the walls, some classic, some looked like new not-quite-professional paintings of landscape cities and countrysides. The couch seemed somewhat worn but in working condition for premium comfort; a quilt hung down over it to cover the stained fabric beneath it.

Ro looked around at all the photos and paintings around the room. She admired them as she sat waiting for him to come back in.

After a minute or so, Matt did come back with a brown and white hamster in his hand, “Meet Sam.”
He took a seat back beside her in the couch, resting his crutch on the armrest. He set Sammy down on his knee to let him roam free.

She made a quiet, inaudible, seemingly distant, squeal from the utter cuteness of sam. "Hi Sam." She said quietly.

Sam crawled up to the stranger’s leg with much curiosity. He looked up at her as if to say Hello

Matt grinned, “He’s a cutie when he wants to be.”

"Well he seems cute now." She said then petted his fluffy soft fur.

“Hah! Yes, he is very cute.” He hummed, “I love him, even if he is a pain sometimes.”

Sam closed his eyes with deep content.

"Aw he can't be that bad." Ro said then smiled at Matt

Matt laughed, holding up a hand to show her his finger, “I still have a scar! Granted it was when I first adopted him and he wasn’t used to me yet, but still.”

"Oh, it's small. You shouldn't hold it against this little fluff ball."

“I know, I just like to give him a hard time about it.” He reaches to pet Sam’s little head with a single finger, “I’m not mad, I couldn’t be,”

She laughed softly and nudged Sams head with a gentle finger "he's adorable."
