One corner of Cammie's lips tilted upward as he tried to hold back a smile (to be sensitive, you know). "I'll try to remember that. I've been making a list, you know. Pink's excited, blue's—apparently—sad, and red's angry," he joked, unable to keep the smile off his face any longer. "But anyways," he said, his shoulders lifting as he took a deep breath. "if you need me, send Barnabas after me and listen for the scream."

(He was teasing, of course. Rats didn't scare him—definitely not.)
