A pacifist and a lion walk into an alleyway...

[howexciting]

... I hate to interrupt, but I was wondering something.

Is there any precedent for a companion - that is to say, a spirit animal, a pet, or similar - infiltrating when the person they are bound to is not?

Damn. I'll ... I'll look for him. [Can he call up a thread to the lion? Could he if he was normal? He's not sure, but ... it's got to be worth a try.]

[howexciting]

I appreciate it, Kanji, I... I really do.

[What a good son]

[truerevelation]

Heh. No problem. [He doesn't want to see any lions lost around here either.] Anythin' else I can ... do? While we're talkin'?

[howexciting]

... just assure me that I haven't unknowingly turned into an Adversary.

[That would be the only other reason Marzocco wasn't speaking to him.]

[truerevelation]

Adversary? [There's a stunned pause-]...No. I've been one. [Well, Kei'd been one while he wasn't in his mind. Close enough.] And you ain't doin' anything that says you're going down that road to me.

[And even if he had been at one point, Kanji doesn't say, those days seem to be long gone.]

[howexciting]

Thank God. [He seems more relieved that he probably should be, in truth.]
