Character Guide

Sir Francis Bacon disembarked from his chest-chariot and settled on the floor to watch the scene before him. This was an unexpected gathering of people and animals in Luna’s home, and he was utterly fascinated. His best friend, Cassius, walked over and lay down next to him. ‘How’s it going?’

‘Well, thank you,’ Frankie asked distractedly. ‘I have some questions, if you don’t mind.’

‘I’m always happy to help your studies,’ Cassius said. Frankie was aware that quite often, Cassius was just humoring him, but Frankie was heartened by the fact that his friend cared enough to pretend.

‘Do you know why Logan’s brother Greg and his friend and the Safe Harbor pup are here? Where are Chance and Logan? Why aren’t the felines getting in the way? Why is a tree in the house and who is that lying underneath it?’ Frankie wished he had opposable thumbs and a notebook to record his observations.

As soon as the school year started, Trip had introduced Frankie to a colleague of his while he gave a mathematics lecture. A student had come into the office for guidance, and as soon as Frankie heard the woman describe her area of study, he was hooked. He couldn’t believe there were people who were just as interested in learning about human behavior as he was, and that there was an entire field of study around it called Anthropology. Every week that month, Trip allowed him to spend time in her office while he taught, so that Frankie could better understand the formalities of the subject.

‘Well, the Safe Harbor boy is Chance’s brother. So is his mirror-boy. They finally live here now. Chance is going to care for them because they are still pups. Greg and Tommy are here to talk to them and-’

‘Hi!!!’ Luna called to Frankie, running past with a toy.

‘Hello, my dear!’ Frankie called after her, before returning to his conversation. ‘It appears your nose assessed the situation correctly, Cassius. I’m impressed. Perhaps there is an ass-ological medical journal in which you can publish your findings. We should ask Greg; he would know. As for my other questions?’

‘Chance and Logan are off doing their weekday stuff.’

‘Ah, yes. Just like my Trip. I had almost forgotten. And the tree?’

‘Some people put a tree in their house every once in a while. They put packages under it for others to tear open. Julian’s parents do this, but I’ve never seen one in Chance’s home before.’ Frankie had never heard of this ritual, and he hoped he would be able to witness the entire process. Cassius continued, ‘The bitch under the tree is named Roger. She is protecting the tree, and the cats must respect or fear her because they’ve been up on their wall-seats the whole time I’ve been here.’

‘Roger’s my new friend! She’s awesome!’ Luna shouted as she ran after her toy, which had been thrown by the human pup.

‘That’s wonderful!’ Frankie replied but, as always, reserved judgment. Luna thought everything and everyone was awesome.
