Tootling along.

Hi Toots, Interesting times for you. How you holding up?

I really hope a vet weights in - Wonka especially as she's da bom with replies.

It is curious that he's sent two emails. He's clearly anxious about this. Maybe you could just send something short, sweet and reassuring at this stage to buy a bit more time:

Very sorry to hear about your job. I didn't take your first email as presumptious at all, just need some time to give you a more considered reply. I will be in touch.
