If I could even find something worthwhile to do around here, I'd be doing it. [he sounds mighty bitter, and when he hears himself, he pauses. he shouldn't be complaining about his job, even if adachi has totally soured him on it by scaring the stupid rat off. and then laughing at him. the jerk]

It was just... I don't know, something to do. The chipmunk had been stealing food, like I said. I offered to track it down... it seemed like a good way to kill time. [he folds his arms across his chest, and he would probably look way more intimidating if he wasn't whining about a chipmunk hunt being boring.]
