Devero laughs. "I'll hurry prudently," he promises. The ring around Sir Beepers' eye goes back to solid blue when Devero cuts the transmission on his end, and as if he hadn't paused at all, it resumes its cautious attempt to scale Mt. Knee.

Devero's got a few packages waiting for him still in luggage, and he takes a minute to hunt them up. He can't carry everything back and still manage the carrier, so he sets some of his purchases aside to come back for later. Two matching bags he ties together by their drawstrings and hangs over his shoulder, and then he hefts the carrier and heads back towards Sleeper 3.

Thankfully, Koumyou's pet remains somnolent the whole time. Devero lets himself into their cabin with another sigh of relief, calling out, "Knock knock, kitty delivery!" as he enters.
