fric fell off my hand and in between the cushions and it took me fifteen minutes to find him! i now know how people feel when a snake escapes. i was freaking out the whole time because i was afraid he would hurt himself on a protruding spring or piece of splintered wood...or that he'd fall further down to where i couldn't get him. i found him nestled up under one of the permanent cushions and managed to get him out instead of further in. oi! he's so quick and clumsy, i really have to keep a close eye on him during handling because he doesn't know where not to go and he likes to pretend he's a cliff diver, hehe. my couch, it seems to eat everything that falls into it somehow, but aelfric made it out alive and completely unwounded...just a little shaken. wooh!
