"What, me?" Billy looks surprised at the question, maybe more than a little uncertain. "No, I mean, I don't know. I've never even had a pet before, unless you count that one winter break in fifth grade when I took the class hamster home and took care of it for a week. My mom's allergic to cats, so." That answers nothing, Billy.

"But, uh. It might be kind of nice to learn more about them. I talked with Alex about the peacats when I first got here, and it seems like there are a ton of animals here, even if you don't count the weird ones that don't exist back on Earth. Once I know more about them, maybe I could help take care of them."
