As no response came from the cold presence, Py took it as his mistake and decided to carry on. But the bell rang soon so he left his rope and began looking around for his cane. Since he had been jumping and shuffling about a few steps, his mental radar was way off from finding his cane. He knew he had left it near some corner but where exactly was a problem. There were a dozen things in the gym room that could be mistaken for a cane so he just brought his hand in front of him and calmly waved around hoping to catch the cane. He was crouching and counting his steps so that he can map a route afresh.

The housekeeper had the right intention but he thought she was a bit too quick and eager to get them going. He needed some time to sort himself out but in the end he had only achieved losing a possible friend and with the way things are going, Liz's gentle and likable personality he'll soon alienate other people that like Liz. Not a good start but he'll live here until he is thrown out and improvise from there. As the thoughts ran through his mind he still searched for the cane, he was on all fours now hoping that he'd get lucky or that someone would help him.
