Chester blinked, wondering what her last question would be, but nothing could have prepared him for what she said next.
All she was greeted with was a wide-eyed response for a short while, and then he opened his mouth, as if to say something.

His shoulders hunched, and he clutched at his arm, tail curling around his legs. "I..."

"He'd find a new partner of course, and continue what he was doing."
