Sisnil followed her. Like always, he needed help getting into the tub. Then he spent a long while letting the water help relax his muscles.

Dradvia helped him, but then sat in the other room, keeping Simon occupied. He was quite curios about the water and determined to be wherever Sisnil was.

Sisnil laughed, “If he could use words, he’d be thinking “Why can’t I go see my friend?”

Simon was sniffing the door, and when he heard Sisnil’s voice, he began to cry pitifully and glare at Dradvia. “He’s fine Simon. I promise. You won’t be happy if you fall in the water.”

Simon meowed at her and flopped over on his side, reaching under the door with a paw. Then began to mew for Sisnil again.

Dradvia was afraid Simon was going to get hurt. There should not be enough room for his paw to fit under. And now he sounded like he was hurt. She hurried over and scooped Simon up. We’ll, she tried, but Simon had curled his paw around the bottom of the door and wouldn’t let go and he was mewling louder. “Simon. Simon stop it. Simon really, let go.” She tried to coax the paw out. She was afraid to open the door and his leg really get caught in the mechanism. “Please? Let go. He’ll be done soon.” Dradvia had no idea what to do. Simon cried more. “I know you want him, but now we can’t go in because you are stuck.” Dradvia was a bit panicked.

“Coax him with a treat or something,” Sisnil said from in the bathroom. “That will make him let go.”

~ Zoi

Well Dradvia didn’t have any treats. She didn’t want to leave him there while she went to the mess. A moment later her brain remembered the VIP quarters had a replicator. She hurried into the other room to get the chicken he liked.

Her absence just made Simon reach further under the door a cry for Sisnil. Or maybe he was yelling at Sisnil now.

The paw disappeared and a happy purring meow was repeated over and over while Dradvia coaxed him from the door.

Sisnil laughed again from inside the bathroom. “That worked, huh?” He said through the door.
