The other male introduced himself in kind, and the two adults took part in a bit of small talk while Sugar Glider momentarily amused herself. Elwood keep an eye on her as she continued to dig, and he chuckled as she pulled up an earthworm and proceeded to pick it up between her teeth and show it off.

She bumped into Dorminos's leg just as he was excusing himself, and the worm landed on Elwood's paw.

The worm looked a little worse for wear, having just been abused by the toddler, but Elwood still uttered a shriek and reacted as though it was a huge snake instead of a tiny worm that she had deposited on his foot.

He gave an overexaggerated yelp and shook it off his paw, taking a few steps back to move behind Sugar. "Help! Save me!" he cried.
