Abdas laughed a bit at Stella's joke. "Well, I don't think a coyote is docile enough for a safe sentry. One look at me in my coyote form, and someone is bound to call in a group of men to have me captured. However, a rabbit would work because all one would have to do is run as a way of faking being startled when someone gets up close. That's where you come in." He pulled out two potions, which looked like regular sparkling water in sports bottles. "Drinking one of these, though not right now, will grant us telepathic communication with each other whenever we will it. That way, should anything go wrong, we can contact each other. I'll be nearby, my house is not far from where Jephthah lives, which is a plus. whenever we have to work at the Café, or neither of us can be near Jephthah I've got some additional help ready. My brother's pals have been itching for a chance to bring down demons, and their animals forms are that of a squirrel. I'll call my brother and let him know we need them."

later....

Abdas was hard at work in the bakery of the Love Café, baking everything so customers would have fresh breads and treats. It was not a job where he remained idle.

Bon Bon just pretended to sleep a bit more before he sprung up and ran circles around Mr. Whiskers. This eventually made the real cat dizzy, as Mr. Whiskers had difficulty walking back to Nadia. The fake cat stretched for a moment, then got off the driveway and ran all the way to the Love Café, where he simply lay in the grass in front of the building and actually slept, this time.

Jephthah walked all the way to the Café and went to the couples section, where he waited for Nadia. He always went to the same spot of the Café to wait on her, so she would always know where to sit. Until she came, he would not order anything, just wait. To keep busy, though, he began sketching some plants on a hill with pencil and paper. It was a hobby of his when there was nothing else to do.
