(ANOTHER A/N: POSTING BC I FEEL LIKE IT!!! Also you wish you were as cool as me 🙈🙈)

Phil had consented to watch the nymphs whilst Wilbur went to his job. He then proceeded to regret this decision after Tommy wanted to try preening his wings. Wilbur arrived at the office wearing his stereotypical white lab coat that expertly hid the small bumps left from his wings retracting.

"Well, kid, you've been here for a month now and I think it's time we move you from the kids to the adults in the harmless class." Wilbur grinned. He loved the kids but was eager to see more subjects.

He was tasked with entertaining a subject until he fell asleep. Seemed easy enough. As he entered the enclosure, a sad sight graced his perceptions. The children had enrichment scattered around their rooms, while the adults had a place to sleep and a place to eat and drink. The subject looked up, ice-cold eyes glowered at the man. "Hello, uh, can you speak?"The subject flicked his angular ear, his teeth just barely poked out of his furred maw. "I can. What do you want." Wilbur sat down next to the cat-like man. "So... what's your name?" The cat's eyes softened. Clearly expecting another sharp-tongued doctor to bark at him. "... My partner had called me Ant. My full name is Antfrost."

Wilbur gave a soft smile, "Your partner sounds nice, what are they like?" Antfrost had settled down significantly, he felt safe around the man and he couldn't quite pick out why he trusted this human. "He is quite the goofy fellow, I miss him dearly." Wilbur glanced up at the cameras. He spotted the red light blinking on it.

Antfrost turned his head as Wilbur got up to turn off the camera. "Aren't you supposed to like... Keep that on?" Wilbur turned and grinned. "Don't like having my conversations recorded." Wilbur let out a chuckle mixed with small whistles.

Antfrost's eyes widened as he watched this 'human' chirp inhumanely. "I thought- But how-" Wilbur was grinning at the cat, "See, the lab doesn't know that. How about we keep this a secret, just you and me yeah? I've taken a liking to you." Antfrost brightened, his tail gave a slight sway.

"Okay Dr....?"

"Wilbur."

"Okay Dr Wilbur."
