Professor Dopple hadn't replied yet, which led Torii to believe that yes, the woman did need some help back up. But what if she cracked her back or something in the process? Dopple reminded Torii of a porcelain doll just waiting to break into a million pieces. "Should I go get somebody or something? Is your back hurt?" she asked.

Then there was this...whatever-it-was on the floor.

"Oh!" Torii said in surprise, as the creature now stood perched in the palm of her hand. "Look, Professor Dopple! It jumped into my hand. What should I do with it? Do you think it lives outside? Should I take it to Professor Wayland?"

She hated to sound like she had six million questions, but...did this creature even leave room for skipping out on the question front? "Hey, little guy...or girl," she said, and she reached a finger up to its back and pet it.
