Pay for it and then pawn it off on other people entirely? As appealing as the idea might be on the surface, Xehanort's still got a decent sense of responsibility, for better or for worse. "No. If I paid for it, I'd care for it of course. Food, water, cleaning up. But others could enjoy having it around more than I would, for example."

A lot of people here, based on how many noodle-dragon snuggles are happening, would surely like a friendly dog to pet or play with! "Plenty of people have pets. One of my roommates has a cat and has more or less taken over the entire room for their things." He's not holding a grudge. "But it's their pet, which is different than a resource anyone could draw on." Need a cuddle, get a therapy dog! "...Maybe I'm overthinking it a bit."
