I approach the alley and the Kobold sees me. Frightened, she begins to cry harder, though I assure her I mean no harm. As she starts to calm down, I gently hug her and let her cry in my chest. I then ask her if she was looking for a master and between sobs she softly tells me yes.

Thinking about it first, I then ask her if she wants to become my pet, as I've always wanted one. She starts to light up and her tail starts to wag. I tell her that I cannot take her as a wife, though, or we'll both be executed. Her tail starts to droop though I begin to scratch her behind the ears and it begins to wag again. I tell her that I'll try to find a way to travel to a Mamono friendly state, as I've never agreed with the Order's tyranny anyway. Until then, and perhaps even later, she'll just have to be my loyal pet who I'll shower with affection and attention.

I take her leash and lead the happy Kobold to my home where I make her something to eat and afterwards have her lie on my lap in front of the fireplace as I gently pet her.

And that's how I got my first and only pet. Which helped me get a genuine mamono wife later on. (Hey, I utterly adore these things, but not as lovers. They're just not marriage material to me)
