Time is of the essence... the rabbit tribe has received a sufficient amount of affection, and it is certainly time that we have continued our quest!

[He looks around at the rabbits with a warm smile.]

Until the hour of our return, stay strong, you fluffiest of beasts...

[With that, he turns on his heel and moves to exit the pen.]
