Aubrey had been on guard for all kinds of owl and cat attacks over the years, so he was on his guard now, and greeted the direction to stun ‘im with a snarl. “Don’tyoubleedin’dare,” he exclaimed in a breath, again to no one in particular, tearing the rest of his old clothes off in a frenzy and flinging them back behind him in case it helped obscure anyone’s aim. Down to his underwear and feeling all the freer for it, his sights had set on the doors to the entrance hall, but before he could skitter all the way there, a new obstacle presented itself.
Or rather, himself. It didn’t matter how bewildered he was, Aubrey would know Foxwood’s face – and Foxwood, who fed him scones and read him dull-as-ditchwater articles and tucked him away in a robe pocket from time to time, was a sanctuary.
Aubrey, already forgetting he was no longer the size and weight of a small pincushion, barrelled right at Foxwood with the intention of launching himself into his arms. It was a plea for help and an act of desperate affection – to him.
To everyone else, it might have looked like he was trying to tackle Foxwood to the floor.
