As he got closer he could hear her gentle snoring... She was definitely asleep, but where could he even run to? His medicine is back at the school, at his size it would take him months, years even to make it that far... He would never survive such a journey.

It would be a gamble of course, he could end up being found by someone even worse... or mistaken for a bug and smushed... but it was worth the risk...
