“This baby could be dangerous,” thought Potat, who hated to get wet.

Being highly intelligent, Potat realized the reason for M. Bomp’s distress. Bravely, she walked closer to him, avoiding the wet spots on the bed and watching out for falling drops.

“Hello, big baby, I’m Potat. What’s your name?”

At the sound of her telepathic voice, the baby’s big eyes opened and slanted upward as if his mood had changed with lightning speed. He gave a final sniff.

“Bomp,” said M. Bomp.

“I guess you’d like to be my pet too,” said Potat in a somewhat regal telepathic tone.

She wasn’t surprised that so many humanoids would like this honor, but there were limits to how many people she could be responsible for.

“Pet, pet, pet!” said the gigantic baby.

He reached a big green hand, slightly damp with tears, down to lightly pet Potat. With great tolerance, she allowed him to put small amounts of salt water on her fur. But she knew that she’d have to give herself another complete bath as soon as possible.

Now Potat wondered how much M. Bomp could actually understand.

When I said “pet,” did he think it was an offer for him to pet me? You just never can know what an alien species is thinking, thought Potat. I’ll just assume that he can understand me.

She knew very well how it felt to be underestimated again and again by members of other species.

“Very well,” she mentally addressed M. Bomp again. “Because you’re also a member of my pet M. Hoyvil’s family, you can be my pet too. But you must also prove yourself with an act of bravery. You’re still a baby, so it could be a long time before you can do that, but the offer is open.”
