Manuel & #3 strolled in as if nothing had happened. The chapter on resuscitation had been invigorating.
"Where's the dog food?" asked #3, "The puppies are hungry."
"It's under the sink," answered TACO, pointingly, "Give them a drink first."
Silenus looked on, his thumbs twiddling in his mind.

At almost the same time, the stallions & Bruce arrived in Brazil.
Snoddi was overjoyed & embraced them both, enjoying the horsey smell.
Runni was more restrained. "What kept you?" she asked.
"Get your daughter to google it," said S2.
"Be polite!" Stallion demanded.
Runni scratched Bruce's head. He wagged his tail adoringly.
"How did he get here?" she asked of the Horses.
"At first as a cling-on," answered S2, "but I've named him my pet."
"What do you call him?" asked Desiree.
"We decided on Bruce."
"Hey, Brucy!" Desiree blurted.
"Arf!" said the up, signifying it was okay if she called him that.
