"I'm sure that's not true," Oliver laughed. "But obviously she is more partial to me, because I'm the better looking one," he added with a overly mocking wink at Charlie. This was okay, right? This was just banter, friendly exchange between friends, and Oliver could do that. Besides, they were talking about Fizz and Fizz was both adorable and easy to talk about. "I wish I knew enough about dragons to have someone like Fizz," Oliver admitted to Charlie with a now more honest smile. Whenever he played with Fizz, he always wished he could have someone like her, she was so clever. Oliver wasn't sure other animals would be as clever.
Oliver drank his beer for a moment, somewhat thoughtfully. "I don't suppose cats would be as smart," he finally decided. "Besides," he added with a laugh. "It'd probably die on me within like a week," Oliver said, quite sure of himself. He was a pretty shitty friend, and a pretty shitty brother, so he was almost definitely going to be a pretty shitty parent to a pet.
