"Jester! Quit hopping around. You're going to get eaten by those log monsters," she snapped at her silly rat.

They were currently in a swamp area, and the "log monsters" she referred to were alligators. Exo didn't remember that though. All she knew was that Jester could be in danger.

Luckily, he obliged and hopped over to her. His movements mimicked the "long-eared pouch creatures" they saw on the safari a few weeks ago, and she joked that he was their devolved ancestor. Jester wasn't too happy about that.

"Are you hungry? I just caught another bushy-tailed creature," she asked and held up a dead squirrel. Jester sniffed it and opened his front paws, leaning to grab it. He wobbled on his back paws and almost fell into the water. However, he landed on Exo's arm and caused her to drop the carcass into the water instead. Before she could lean down and grab it, an alligator's jaws engulfed it.

Jester made a sad squeaking sound and glanced up at the girl. "Great, that took me so long to trap and kill!" Exo exclaimed and glared at her rat. His ears flopped to the sides of his head.

"Oh, I can't stay mad at you for long. You're my only friend. But you have to let me know if you see anything edible," she sighed heavily and continued walking. Exo's stomach growled in protest, but she had enough energy until their next meal.

He scrambled back onto her shoulder and curled up, hiding under her hair.
