Drayson bid a fond farewell to the two women; it was rare he was in a situation to ask for help but he wasn't the type to stubbornly press on in ignorance. The two took their leave, and Drayson delayed a short time longer, singling out the blue hedgehog, and then the kit that would be needed to keep the animal safe and healthy.
Loaded with cage and food dishes and now a live little animal, Drayson had to decide against taking the metro back to his condo. It was simply too impractical to be carrying all that on a packed train. So he waved down a cab, and settled in for the long drive through busy streets.
His neighbours were overjoyed with his choice, and he spent a moment there helping getting the cage set up in the room their granddaughter would be using. And then he retired to his own place, falling into his paperwork with a sense of contentment. His life was without much rest, and it was exceedingly rare that he took a vacation, but he could imagine no other life for himself. Every day spent focused on his duty, the better a life others could live.
