You’re a hybrid. Your owner is a human that owns hybrids.

He’s always been busy. Since he was a child he was infatuated with hybrids and there capabilities, also how they were often mistreated…

You were gifted to him when he was a teen. And at that time you were an orphan infant.

Since then once he became an adult and you were a bit older he fostered all kinds of hybrids of many different ages. Hybrids are only seen a property so they cannot own houses which means, even if a hybrid is an adult it is still in the system. One separate from animals and human children.

Due to his choice of work- fostering and hybrid study- he is very busy…

He also owns another hybrid besides you. A needy one. While your species is more independent, theirs isn’t…

In conclusion, he never has time for you. Or rarely does. It’s not necessary a problem but it does get lonely.
