Scott took a while to read the message she wrote, having to constantly go back to his notes for letter references. "So humans are apparently really intelligent! Well this will be interesting." He said more to himself than to Rachel. He began to write again as he thought of something that might embarrass Rachel, once again having to look up at his notes every few letters:<br/><br/>I get the feeling you won't like this, but there are leash laws. The alternative is for me to carry you around in that cage. I really am sorry about that, but I doubt you want to be put down because we didn't obey the law.<br/><br/>He sighed as he awaited her decision. After all, wherever she came from, animals didn't seem to be the dominant specie. That meant that Mark was right about him needing to treat her like she wasn't just a pet.
