I don't-- [She doesn't know! She's sorry for being sorry!! But before she can get into some sort of neverending apology loop, he's drawing her attention to the kittens. Instantly she goes from feeling anxious to feeling Determined.

These kittens need a Mom and god damn it is she going to Mom them. She moves to the couch almost immediately, having a much easier time with animals than with people, but she pauses in surprise at the rat.

Her last couple experiences with rats weren't good ones at all, but this one doesn't seem all too bad. She hesitates for only a moment before reaching out to touch her fingertip to Clementine's paw.]

...Pleased to meet you, Clementine. My name is Jennifer. [It feels a little strange to introduce herself to a rat and all, but... This whole place was strange, what did it matter. Slowly she sits next to the basket, peeking under the blanket with a soft expression.]

How dear... Truthfully, I'm more fond of dogs, but I don't really mind any sort of animal.
