"...that the batsy kid and a few of the other Dogs were planning on rooting out the Palace... tonight?"

"I'd tell you to take this drink from me because clearly it's affecting my hearing. ... By the elements you're serious, aren't you.

So this is Sly and Schrodinger, two characters from a story/comic I'm drafting up. Schrodinger is a cold and generally tie-less character, however Sly remains his link to the outside world and the two of them are closer than Schrodinger would like others to believe.

Schrodinger is a teacup persian cat (which explains his height, or lack thereof), and Tristan "Sly" is a fossa.
