Once there, he befriended Stephanie Harrington, the girl who made first contact with the treecats and also established the first permanent telepathic bond with a member of the species. The treecats gave him the treecat name "Bleached Fur". ()
He began a romantic relationship with Stephanie, but some time later started to fall in love with her best friend, Jessica Pheriss, much to his own discomfort. After Stephanie returned from Manticore, he broke up with her, though they remained friends. ()
