It seems that having small, sentient companions is rather common here on Earth. Can someone explain why so many people seem to want and/or have them? Especially when they are incredibly small and seem to serve no purpose in terms of protection or strength?

[Terry looks back down at the dog, who is still pointedly not looking at him.]
Ace? Oh he's never happy about anything. I'm just lucky he didn't try to take my finger off. [He's a surly one, like his true master.] He's a Great Dane mix. One of the biggest dog breeds there is.
no subject
Do they do that? Rip off people's fingers or limbs? Or is that something particular to Great Danes?
no subject
[Considering how excited she was at the prospect of them arriving, he's surprised she doesn't know much about them.]
They can, depending on how they're trained. Ace is a guard dog, so he can bite if he thinks me or my boss back home are being threatened, but mostly he's just... [He waves a hand in Ace's general direction.] bored.
Most dogs just want love and attention, though. It's not Ace's fault he's part cat.
[Ace looks up, just for a moment, to register his displeasure at being compared to a cat before laying his head back down again.]
no subject
If .. that makes any sense.
[She tilts her head, curious.] It's possible to have a cross-species animal that's part dog and part cat?
no subject
[He smiles.]
It's just an expression. Cats typically act a certain way, and so do dogs, but Ace does what he wants.
no subject
[She shakes her head, embarrassed for not having understood.] Right, right, of course. That makes more sense. Ace seems intelligent and like a good companion. He came with you through the Porter?
no subject
I keep forgetting that not everyone grew up with these kinds of expressions. [He shrugs, then pets Ace's head.] He did. Actually, he was my boss' dog. I helped look after him, but he wasn't mine.
[He is now, though. No takebacks Bruce.]
no subject
Huh. It seems that, even though he's "cat-like" in his behavior, that he's at least a bit fond of you. Enough to stick around you, at least. I guess he found you, too, the way people found your friend.
no subject
After we saved each other from...er... muggers, he's more or less deemed me "accpetable."
no subject
Sounds like a fairytale.
no subject
I might have even said "Don't touch my dog" like an action hero too.
no subject
I don't doubt it. Very suave of you.
no subject
Oh, that's me. Suave. He chuckles. [He's many things, but suave isn't one of them.]

[Terry rubs the back of his neck.]
I know dregs. Never want to be one.
no subject
I doubt you could be one if you tried!
no subject
Not for real, but I can play one if I need to. [That, and he did used to be one. Briefly.]
no subject
[She lets out a quiet laugh.] I think most of us can play many things if we need to, but hopefully you haven't the need.
no subject
Hopefully. [He probably will though. Batman stuff gets weird sometimes.]

I'd like to try anything. Everything. It's a ridiculous luxury I'd never been afforded where I come from, so I might as well enjoy it now.
no subject
I know a good seafood place, not too greasy. We can go there if you want.

When are you free?
