familiar is meant to be a brilliant psywurm
it was switched to Jack

"Lakari!" Festivus called, looking at the door to his room. He immediately went back to reading the page he was on in a book called "Anatomic abilities and disabilities: All Species". 30 seconds passed. "Lakari!" He called again, the instant the door swung open. A yellow-red Psywurm trotted into the room, holding some books in his paws. "Thank you." He said with a smile. Lakari came over to him and handed him the books, then slipped under his arm. Festivus pet his head while reading the page. "Do you think Psywurms will be in this book?" He asked, still rubbing Lakari's head. Lakari nodded, grabbed a sheet of paper, put it on the page Festivus was on, then flipped through the pages. Festivus focused on the pages flipping by. Suddenly they stopped as Lakari pointed to a spot on a page. Festivus peered at it. "Oh, I guess you are." He skimmed the page. Lakari made an endearing bark-squeak sound. "You fluffy little genius, this is exactly what I needed! I think I'll be able to find out what that thing on your back is for." Lakari squarked again. Festivus's eyes widened, and he fell purely silent. Minutes passed. "Lakari..." He began, then shook his head. "Would you ever want to stop being my assistant and pursue your own life?" Lakari tilted his head, then shook it side to side sincerely. "Thanks, bud. I suppose that means I can let you read this without worrying..." Maybe... He thought. "I can only hope."
