Stephan sat down, thinking. He had sent what he read of Maddock's letter to Mike so he could read it. When he opened their shared message chat, he found many messages waiting for him. He completely forgot that now Mike had also a somewhat connection to him. He was a partner now, a companion. It felt weird, considering how Stephan was always a lonely wolf on Earth.
"Certainly," he said. "He was worried about me. It's funny."
"Why is it funny?" Abnu asked.
"I feel hollow as if something is missing in my life and this man is worrying about me. Look at all these messages. What makes me feel weirder is that I have a friend now. I never had friends."
"It seems you were a sad lad, Anyway, this isn't important. Mike is close."
"He is close."
"Look at the mini-map, you dummy. Don't you see his dot?"
