Gene approaches Kodiak and presses his ear tightly into her fur. He mumbles something under his breath before plucking a single hair strand directly from the coat. He turns his back to you and fumbles around with it and a series of objects. After a short period, he offers a small smile. "Despite the current, ahem, difference, Kodiak is completely clear! Not a carrier for anything at all."
