*Abbey, an Abyssinian cat with a tuft of hair on his head, kneels down and reaches out to Daisy.*
*Daisy looks up at Abbey.*
Daisy: ..?
*Abbey smiles, comfortingly.*
Abbey: C’mon, Daisy. Let me help you up.
*Daisy takes Abbey’s hand and stands up.*
Daisy: You know my name?
Abbey: Don’t you remember me?
Daisy: Oh! You’re the top student in my English class, right?!
Abbey: Well, I suppose I’ve done okay so far..
*David pops in and points at Abbey.*
David: So he’s a nerd too!
*Abbey narrows his eyes at David.*
Abbey: And ignorance is a virtue?
Abbey: Anyway.. my name is Abbey, in case you forgot. I just noticed you looked rather sad today and I just.. well..

Daisy: ..?
