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?

Not me. My dad wouldn't let me have a pet.

I wasn't able to have one, either. Not because I wasn't allowed, but .. because our lives didn't really allow for it. We moved too often when I was young.

I think you'd like having one then. There's a sense of stability knowing that there's a pet waiting for you when you come home.

Yes, it's .. still a strange concept, all these months later, but I think you're right. I think I'll look into getting one. Thank you, for your help.

You're welcome. Let me know what kind of pet you get.
