Matters of the heart usually work back when things are just winged anyway. I guess it all depends how things work out.

Ah! Oh crap! I forgot to feed my cats this morning! Oh man, if I don't go back home and feed them soon they'll start destroying the furniture! I gotta run. [Or could it just be he's thinking up some excuse because he's finding he's making Makie uncomfortable rather than annoyed.] The welcome center is that way if you want to see what's open. Otherwise, you could follow me home if you want to meet my cats.

They're very cute. You know, when they're not destroying things.
