Oh god, Kai wants a dog now. No. Absolutely not. His life is complicated enough, he doesn't need one. Having him go snicker over Malik with a puppy would be a better idea, right? Right?

Okay, maybe not, but still. He can have a dog when he gets home, which'll be...someday.

Or I'll just give him a pet Shadow, much more entertaining.

And dangerous.

He got back the ring 'Jem gave him, he doesn't need anything else comforting.

Kai wins.
