"Jesus Dan, calm down," mumbled Chloe, silently agreeing with Aria. She listened on in alarm because this amount of passion about skunk apes...it raised a red flag about risking a relationship with him. Not of course that she'd ever considered such a thing! This was going to be a long journey, she thought, looking out the window. Maybe she should give a shot at placating this guy before the shrimpy first two elementals agitated him again. 

"There's nothing to say that, assuming a population of skunk apes does exist, that population wouldn't expand into places like, for example, North Carolina, which sounds pretty nice to me." She made a gesture in Jaden's general direction. "I think it's a pretty good idea. Florida...maybe later?" She gave a nervous smile that she hoped would bring down the tension that had risen rapidly over skunk apes.
