[OH GOD WHAT IS THAT

It's apparently some kind of dog, and it yelps before knocking into the camera again.]

Down, boy! [Issei comes into the room, and the... creature rushes over to him and licks his face.]

I guess this is as good a time as any to introduce Henry to all of you. Isn't he cute? Birkin gave him to me! None of the monks are allergic to him, it's wonderful!

Issei-kun... People aren't supposed to know about magic on your world. Nor are zombies supposed to exist, either.

That's true, but frankly I'm sick of that rule.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

Aren't there dangerous repercussions for breaking that rule, though?

Regardless, why choose something like... that for a pet? There are plenty of wonderful cats and dogs in shelters all over the country that could use a loving home!

But the monks are allergic to them. I can't have something that hasn't been specifically engineered not to trigger allergies.

...Hakuba and I could have probably built you a robotic dog if such was the case.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It doesn't feel real.

Hey! I'm very good at replicating synthetic hair! Did you see those lovely locks on Cordelia's head? And you can thank Hakuba for coming up with the formula for her synthetic flesh, too!

I don't want a dog I have to change the batteries on.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

Don't be so droll, Issei. At least you could program it to perform tricks without having to train it.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It just wouldn't feel real.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

I don't understand how you can stand to pet rotting flesh... let alone bear the stench.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

A monk should be able to work in difficult conditions.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

"Should" doesn't imply "must".

...but if you can handle it, more power to you. Just don't expect me to play fetch with him should I come to visit.

I understand, Naoto.
