"Have you ever heard of an ape named Zephram? Anyone from his office ever drop by?" Rowan asked, wondering.
He was worried whether or not his actions would really make Kracker revert. It would be a hard time to try to convince a human that was beaten for whatever purpose. "Beatings are the worse punishment any child or adult can endure." he left out the fact that he had nearly killed Venus, but the thing is? He didn't know the collar's strength or power.
Rowan looked towards his mother who was looking concerned as well. "Oh dear. We won't beat you just because you're a kid. Or a pet." His mother was kind.

“He was high up in the army, got away with a lot,” he shook his head. He had had those friends that were just... Well just like him, after all. “It’s ok though, I lived. If just means this scared me.”
He paused a long moment as he situated himself against the ape’s soft fur. Now that they were talking to him nicer he could feel himself relaxing. “Is if so bad being a pet? I just don’t know much about it,” he admitted honestly. “All I know is most of us are being taken by apes that want something cute in their laps. And I guess I’m no exception.” He explained honestly.
He’d been around a few pets in his life but hasn’t actually gotten to interact with them.

Rowan wondered, "How did he ever get a hold of you? I mean surely this is a gorilla, correct? A gorilla is known for his brute strength, but to take it out on an innocent kid- any of his friends- to be precise, took their power to the next level. He believed that he was above all. I wonder if he intentionally shot any humans on target practice? My friend, Galen is a soft-hearted sweet gorilla. Any ape that lays a hand on a human child has to be nuts. Crazy."
Rowan knew his actions would scare him because he was conditioned by a violent gorilla. "I know why you would react in the negative when I did that. Because you were conditioned. It's going to be a long time before you truly trust any gorilla and due to your father's negativity, you've been scarred." He knew the signs of 'abuse'. It was often seen by the vets and the reactions of the humans in their master's arms. It was the constant flinching and way the victim always reacted.
Rowan would punch him in the face - and apply a shock collar to his father's neck until it had bled. Just like it had to Venus.

He simply nodded and let the ape seathe.
Instead he wondered how much longer it would be until they got home and off this bus. Anything was honestly better than this ride in an ape’s lap. Plus he definitely wanted off this conversation. “All I know is at least this means I get a good bath and a fresh set of clothes,” he added. “The ones they gave me were old and I was in that cage for three weeks.”
Taking a deep breath - he shifted a little bit in his lap again then added. “If you’re a handler does that mean when I’m with you I go back by the way?” He asked, figuring it wouldn’t be a bad idea. “If you treat me well I may be able to be convinced to... Help you calm some of the other kids down.”

It was only a few more minutes before he was picked up again and got off the bus. It was in a portion of town. Not really letting him go and holding him - like a young child- as he waited for his mom to disembark. She stepped off. "Fresher is better than the ones you're wearing." Rowan admitted. "And a bath is in order."

Ugh.
He was not going to be used to being carried around like this. Like he couldn’t do anything else for himself. But at the same time he was sure that he’d have to get used to it. “As long as I get to bathe and dress myself. I know apes have a thing for that,” he explained. “But I’m thirteen, not five. I can do it.”
He then added. “I think I’ve complied enough for that at least.”
And maybe just rip that collar off and climb out the window. He thought as he tugged at said collar lightly in some discomfort.

He found himself shifting his pet around to where he could walk- if he wanted. "I don't intend to bathe humans because I think they can bathe themselves." He admitted. "In all honesty, I don't plan on using onesies."
They began to walk, but he noticed he was pulling on his collar. "Sorry. Kracker. It's a temporary one until I can get you a collar."
He decided to take him to Warren's first thing in the morning. It was his day off tomorrow.

Ugh, collar shopping.
But he did say that he didn’t plan to bathe him. Thank god! He then added rather calmly. “My names Kramer, not Kracker,” he added rather calmly, finally able to walk. “But that’s perfect. Just show me the bathroom when we get inside. I’ll get a bath right away.”
And get out the window immediately... Smart kid.

Rowan and his mother walked into a house, but there was one single issue. It was two story house. "Well, Kracker. I renamed you." He smirked as he chuckled. "Kramer is an ape's name."
Then he led him upstairs to the bathroom. There was a window. But it was latched well. Rowan retrieved some towels, a wash cloth, and some hair supplies and soaps. It was all pet supplies, but because his sister is a human so she required some human items as well.

Ugh. He couldn’t even keep his name?
He didn’t reply only grumbled as he was lead up to the bathroom. Allowing the ape to get some supplies he went to take his onesie off. But of course remembered it was at the back. “I hate to say this but I need you to... Unzip me,” He managed with a bit of irritation. “Hopefully for the last time. They aren’t all like this are there? I’ve seen all kinds of clothes like that.”
When he was alone, he closed the door quickly and locked it. Immediately attempting to open the window, latch and second story and all. But after a long time he has finally given up. It was only after he had gotten into the bath that he buried his face in his hands and screamed.
He’d figure out a way to get out while they were asleep.
Twenty minutes later, he had stepped out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist. “That feels so much better.”

Rowan helped him with the onesie. Fortunately for him, he was valued his privacy and he was allowed to take care of his needs.
Rowan left the bathroom and smirked. Knowing that the human wouldn't be able to leave- the house. Not without someone knowing he was there. Rowan was downstairs fixing up something to eat for the boy. It seemed he must not have eaten well enough there. So after his 'bath or shower', he'd feel better.
His Mom went to the study, where his father was. They were talking. His sister wasn't home yet. So she must still be outside.

Kracker crept down the stairs.
Of course, Rowan was still there. God help him. But he did smell food, oh glorious food. He hadn’t eaten in forever. Though he looked at the floor. Remembering a few dogs eating there. “So do I have clothes or do I have to wait?” He asked a bit. “I would have checked my room if I didn’t know better. I keep forgetting I’m not an ape anymore.”

Rowan was surprised that he would ask about clothes. Then his Mom came out from the study and hauled him upstairs and helped him pick his clothes. It was a habit of hers it seemed. "Here. Here we go."
She was just being helpful and nice. Showing his new room which was not like a cage. It had a bed, some toys, and set of clothes waiting on the bed. She gently pushed him into the room. The window was also latched because no one wanted kids to fall out of a second story.

Again, latched. Dammit.
When she left he studied the rest of the room. It wasn’t a cage, thankfully, and he hoped it wouldn’t be locked at night. That way he could easily get out. Though he didn’t see the harm in trying right now. He didn’t have a microchip and this collar...
Well it didn’t take long to get it off.
He slinked out the bedroom in hopes no one would hear him and crept as quietly as he could down the stairs. By this time in a t shirt and sweat pants that didn’t seem to be a distinct pet wear so he knew he could easily pass off as one of the humans who might not be taken to the cages yet. Surely all of them weren’t right?
Once he’d reached the front door he turned the lock, and opened it quietly. Please don’t have an alarm.. he thought with one squinted eye.

Rowan's sister had to come on home at that very instant and was looking the other way, bidding farewell to her friend, Rachel. "Oh! Ok, Rachel. See you later." She turned and bumped right into another human. A moment of curious intent flashed through her eyes. "Um...whatcha doin'? Why are you in our house?" She asked.
"Mom! Dad! Why is there another human---" Then she got all excited. "Oh! Mom and Dad! Thank you!" Unfortunately, no one told her that he wasn't hers and she had a major happy dance and hugged the human. "Oh gosh! My very own pet human!" She was so excited.
Rowan heard her squealing with delight and came out to investigate. He smirked. "Going somewhere, Kracker?"
