James sat, tense and nervous, until Amanda came back. He didn't relax until she came back in and even then he relaxed only a fraction. He nodded slowly, knowing that he wouldn't be allowed to go to the restaurant or even buy food from the trolley. That was still a service only given to humans. Until they left the train in Germany, he was still a pet, still under Amanda. "I'm going to try to sleep," he said and started moving bags to the floor. He laid down, curling up with his back to Amanda, and closed his eyes, hoping for sleep to come.

It didn't, and he laid awake for a long, long time.
