The fat guy looked at the turtle, then to me, then back at the turtle, then back to me again.
He repeated that action a few more times before he raised a finger, "I got to make a call."
I watched as the guy walked a short distance away from us to pull out his personal terminal to start calling someone through it.
I turned back to look at the girls and all of them had the same smug look on their faces as though saying 'I told you so'.
Hey! All of you saw how the turtle acted the first time we saw it!! And all of us operated on the same assumption that the turtle wouldn't listen to me either!! Don't start acting like you girls already knew about this from the start!!
I turned back to the turtle who was now looking back at me attentively.
I guess I didn't notice this earlier but… Compared to the first time I saw it, its eyes definitely looked a little clouded over but now it looked clear and energetic.
I went over to it, raising my hand to try and pat its head.
