"Stenophelhabilis," Kate says and then grins at the memory. "Like a cross between a rhinoceros and a golden retriever. They're hunted for their tusks." Of course, she leaves out the part about how she'd been hunting on herself, but not because she'd never tell but because it's not the right story right now. "We had some in stasis, but the stasis failed and they died. We thought they did. But when I was checking it out, there was a baby and he got out. Got into my room and ate half of a leftover cheeseburger, and then me and Hank ended up chasing him all over town while he went looking for more."
It's the short version of the story, but it works. "He kinda imprinted on me, too, so I was stuck with him."
