“I had no pets growing up. Mother insisted we had enough in our lives without adding a pet. Which was true and I did not argue it. I did have my training to join the Quiver at the time so I thought to actually follow my mother’s advice. For once.” She laughs an reaches down to scratch the head of the young wolf pup at her feet. “Now though? I have one pet. And two companions. So yes I like animals. I always have. I just did not have the maturity to have pets when I was younger. This one here is Tucker. He mostly stays at my house.”

She rolls her eyes as a small blue dragonet squawks before perching on her shoulder. “Lady here is not a pet though some people seem to try an consider her so. She is a companion an has a mind of her own. I’m pretty much just her babysitter.” Yelps softly as Lady nips the edge of a pointed ear. “My other companion is Nebula, my chocobo. I would not really call her a pet. She would object to being called a pet as much as as Lady does.”

“No pets. It was never allowed and I never had an interest really. Not that I have anything against pets. I think I just have never really found the one suited to my life. I spend a lot of time in Coerthas mostly. Not exactly a good place for a pet when you are on duty. Nor would I trust leaving a pet to the whims of my family in Ishgard. Maybe someday.”

“I had a fish in a tank once as a child. I wasn’t very good at remembering to feed it though. I think father kept an eye on it for me. At least until it passed. My life now though is kind of not suited to a pet. Neither are my goals. If I found a pet suited to my traveling an dangerous life then I would gladly take one. Hopefully they wouldn’t be too reliant on me remembering to feed it though.”
