"Before Zaana and the rest of you arrived, I volunteered to adopt Hunter, since he'd been there the longest and seemed extremely sad in this store.  I guess that maybe Shawn could adopt Hunter, instead, and then I can adopt Zaana.  Does this sound like a plan, everyone?" Nova asked the group, looking at each of them to gauge their reactions.  Nova turned to look at Zaana, then said, "Don't worry, I'll tell George that I'm just taking you on a quick trip, and then I'll bring you back as soon as we're done hanging out."
