Susan looked up from her teacup as Rattlerun tumbled through the open window straight into the side of Lord Jackatooth, who luckily was a very laidback sort of flat coat retriever and so only huffed and went back to his teacup, all while shouting "I've done it, I'm all done!"

Lucy giggled behind her cup while Susan arched a brow and helped untangle the flailing squirrel from the dog's longhaired fur before offering him a chair and a biscuit. "While it's good to see you too, Rattlerun, perhaps next time you should try the door instead."

"Ah, yes, awfully sorry about that, missed the landing, but, but! I have much more important news than that," he shouted and before any of them could politely ask, he tossed his paws up in the air and shouted "I've finally finished storing all my nuts for winter!"

There was a long pause where Lucy blew a few accidental bubbles into her tea, the dog tried to disguise his laugh as a huff, and Susan bit her lip to keep from smiling. "Oh? Just now?"

"Just now! Ah, but I meant to tell King Peter first as I promised to report to him the moment I was done, so, please, excuse me, your majesties," and like that he was gone, running out the door.

Lucy grinned after him and turned to Susan, opening her mouth to ask "when do you think we shall tell him it's April?"

"Absolutely never," Susan answered and went back to her tea.
