Stone becomes less and less interested in his coffee as Chihiro talks, taking note of the same things as his partner. An idea begins to bloom in his mind, and he loves it. Maybe she<em>isn't</em>an ape of<em>any</em>kind. Maybe she's an<em><strong>alien!</strong></em><br/><br/>He resists the urge to wag his tail and looks over at the cafe's small crew. He turns back to Monkling and murmurs. "Maybe we should take her outside, some fresh air and a little privacy might help her along." He can't keep the excited note out of his voice, or keep himself from looking over the exotic stranger going by Chihiro.
