Zaza heard Tau's nails scrabbling all the way down the spaceway and then fade, as he ran out onto the Docking Ring of the station. She stared after him bemused.
"Huh. I was just going offer to fix him some dinner," she said, scratching her head. She shrugged and got back to work. (4/4) #wss366

Panting, Tau headed to Angels' Wings to calm down. He arrived and headed into the lounge.
"Oh! It's Tau!" Zaza said. She patted him, as he capered in circles. "Aw. Rough day? Would you like me to fix you…" But she had no sooner gotten the words out, but he yelped and ran out of the lounge. (3/4) #wss366

Tau breathed out with relief and continued on when he heard someone yell, "The fix is in! Get him!" A bunch people started running toward him screaming.
Tau spun around to make a quick escape, but then saw someone else running away and realized that was who the crowd was after. (2/4) #wss366

Tau was making his rounds through the Truck Stop at the Center of the Galaxy when he overheard something that made his ears prick up.
"You just wait! I'm going to fix him the first chance I get!"
Tau whirled, as a man continued, "My brother is driving me crazy, but I'll get my revenge." (1/4) #wss366

I am growing cautiously optimistic that strictly masking and avoiding crowded events has allowed us to dodge the COVID bullet again. We finished at #Worldcon on Saturday and had the flight home on Sunday, so if I come down with it now, I'd be more likely to suspect our layover at DFW. A fair number of people were masking at Worldcon (10-30%), fewer were masking at SEATAC, but almost nobody was masking at DFW: the airport was jammed and I saw only one other person wearing a mask.
