“How the hell did you sodding muppets let a fucking sloth get past you in a bell tower?” Lyle demanded.

“They can’t half scuttle, boss,” Finn said sheepishly.

“Yeah, right.”

On the far side of the bells, the sloth blinked, looking equally sheepish.

“If I plummet to my doom, I’m going to be really pissed off.”

Lyle walked carefully across the wooden bell supports, wound the animal’s arms around his neck and returned, the sloth balanced on his hip, hugging him tightly.

“I like him better than I like you lot. You can all fuck off. Slothy McSlothface can stay.”

This is very fun.

I don't envy Lyle walking across a bell tower I do not have a head for heights in any way.

Also, love the name for Lyle new friend Slothy McSlothface. A very British choice.

Thank you! I have done it, and it was slightly nerve racking!
