Fine, fine. [He sighed and waved the argument off.] You're not an apple.
[It was a victory for now, and Bell would take it. He couldn't control Youth, and tying him down really didn't work, but...at least Youth would stay put for a while more. Bell looked down at the turtle and at Youth's hand on its leg, which was practically on Bell's leg.]
Hm... [What did you name a turtle anyway? They all looked alike...unlike a dog or cat which you could name after an attribute, like "Spot" or "Fluffy" or "Stripe". Finally, Bell shrugged and looked back up at his housemate.] Turtle's fine.
Maybe get him a collar or something, so people know who he belongs with? Who to return him to?
[A sigh.] Maybe we need to get you one, for the next time you wander off. [He could have meant either now, misbehaving and going to exercise, or before, and what got Youth bedridden in the first place.]
