"Jubes? Jubes I can still smell ya, even if ya are hidin' in here. Hank said I'm fine, now, so I came to talk to ya. About earlier today."

She emerged from behind the leg of a chair. "Down here Wolvie." She didn't yell. She knew she didn't have to for him to hear her.

He reached down and spread his hand out. She climbed on and clung to his thumb. "Thanks for lookin' out fer me today, kiddo."

"Aww it was nuthin'. You'da done it for me. But Wolvie, aren't you getting re exposed to the radiation right now?"

"Yeah, but I heal out quicker than anybody else, so I figure I can use a little o' that healin' factor to let me keep ya company Jubes. You're not the type to enjoy as much of this solitude as the next few weeks are gonna force ya to."

She hugged his thumb. "Thanks Wolvie. So what's this I heard about the mall?"

"You did wanna go, right?"

"Yeah!"

"Well then, hop in." He lifted the hand holding her towards the pocket on the front of his flannel.

"But won't you start to shrink again from being around me?"

"Yep, but it'll get to me slower than everybody else. So when it does start to shrink me we'll just come back to the mansion."
