Jakob heard the question being asked, but took a moment to quickly appraise his surrounding before responding or even looking at the person who asked. Once his golden eyes met the girl's pink eyes, however, he stumbled over his words for a second , though.<br/><br/>"Uh... Yeah... I..." He started off nervously. "I have a sick.. uh... cat. It's, uh... it's at home. I just thought I'd come and check out this... clinic. Because I've heard lots of good things about this pla-"<br/><br/>A banging at the front door cut him off mid-sentence. This banging was quickly followed by at least three angry voices, yelling things like "Open the damn door!", and "We know he's in there!".<br/><br/>Jakob sighed and rubbed his forehead with his left hand. "Ah, the hell with it."<br/><br/>He quickly walked over to the girl, looked her in the eye, and grabbed both of her hands in a pleading gesture. "Apparently I pissed off some scary looking guys out there. Sorry for the trouble, but if you will kindly direct me to your back door, I'll be out of your hair in literally a couple of seconds."
