[It has been one week since Carla's puppy's death announcement and as some may have noticed Gazelle has been out of sorts from the shock. But not so phased to stop her other routines completely as she slowly mourns the death of the cute animal. And today only will be another step on her path to returning to normal. How? By extending the walk of her own dog named Kaito II (puppy on the right) into the time she used to walk the deceased so that she may also think and cheer up in the company of her own pet. And eventually on this walk she finds herself in Xanadu with an idea or two popping into her mind.]

[Thus, pulling out the device from her messenger bag, she turns it on and motions for her teenaged puppy to sit obediently beside her on the grass as she takes a moment to find the words on the tip on her tongue.]

... Um, does anybody know if the Zoo needs help? I gotta work there because I don't wanna stop working with animals...

And how do god trades work exactly? Can you trade just anything?

[ Facetious. ]

I'd almost suspect you want him revived because you want your old job back.

[+1 more point on making her mad.]

It's not that. I don't need my job back if I don't plan to give him back, not to somebody who could just trade him away again.

[ The dog wasn't easy for Carla to trade. He knows that. The girl's presumption rankles. ]

Oh.

So it's just a savior-complex you suffer from.

Call it what you want...!

I intend to.

[ He tips his head back, regarding her with half-lidded eyes. ]

So you plan to revive the dog? And keep him? Until she -- what? -- apologizes?

No... I don't know.

[ Doesn't know? Fair enough. If she succeeds in getting Rex back, well and good. It'll cheer up Carla (maybe?). Eventually, she'll have to return Rex to his proper owner. ]

[ She can't keep him forever. ]

You plan to trade your voice for him? Your hair?

[When he says it, it obviously doesn't sound like enough. She may regret this but who else is there to ask?]

Well what do you suggest?

You're trading for a life. Not a teddy bear.

You'll need something that holds equal wight. Memories. Limbs.

I know that. But that can't be all there is to trade...

[~~And she is not thinking that her memories may be her only option.]~~

Well, I've dealt with child trafficking. Not dog-trafficking. [ Ever so breezy. ] But I do know that trades for living things are pricey. [ After all, he traded an arm for Diva's babies to be returned. ]

Maybe if you make nice, the Deities will go easy on you. [ The look on his face is almost a sneer. ]

[WHAT THE ALARM. It's so hard to focus on one thing in this conversation. Her brain has stopped listening at "child trafficking".]

You... What!?

'What' what?

[ The most innocent. ]
