"No," Vane's words are firm. You're not getting a pet, and he will not be sharing his space with some inferior creature. It doesn't matter that you had already planned to adopt a kitten when you moved out; he chose your home as his nest, and you were not allowed to give his nest to some feline.

Besides, those balls of fur were nothing compared to his soft scales. In Vane's mind, you must really be crazy to want a cat over him. He can't believe he chose such a dumb human.
