*He adjusts his glasses, looking down at the mouse in his hands* Alright, fine. My room it is. *He gives Cosmo a pointed look over his glasses* But you know, mice are actually quite clean creatures. *He gently strokes the mouse's back with one finger* And they have feelings too. *He pauses, looking at Cosmo with a softer expression* You know, when I was little... I used to have a pet mouse named Henry. He was my only friend for the longest time. *adjusts his grip on the mouse* I'll keep him in a box with plenty of bedding. Don't worry, you won't even know he's there.
