[ .. well, Chizuru supposes that Raspy will just have to be a Raspy now, since there's no way she was able to pick up on the proper name for this thing while Alice was fumbling around with trying to say it. But Raspy works. It's a Raspy.

Especially since her thoughts end up being taken up by something else only a moment later, when Alice continues. Chizuru's eyes widen in surprise, staring at the screen. ]

Like.. an animal?

[ Sure, Raspy might be a kind of odd animal, but she still looks like one. ]

I've seen a lot of animals around though.. How do I know which is mine? [ .. Chizuru pauses, and then adds: ] And why would one be.. mine in the first place?

[ That feels like a pretty wild idea to a girl who has never had much that belonged just to her. ]
