Tarek watched her still trying to figure out what she was getting at when she showed him the small animal it dawned on him as she said pet. "Mina Tarek Pet!"<br/><br/>He said drawing himself again and a smaller version of Mina at his side pointing to her."Pet! Mina Pet!"<br/><br/>He set the pen and paper back down for her, he didmn't understand how Mina could have had a pet herself no self respecting animal would be a pet to a human, and he certainly did not understand how she could have grown up with parent's and lived in a home of their own. He had never heard of humans owning a home and raising a family, perhaps in pens or breeding facilities.<br/><br/>Perhaps her family had been at a very nice breeding facility, after all she was expensive. That had to be it, she was bred in a facility that gave the humans a semblance of a home to make their breed better and more freely. It had to be the case, he had never really put much thought into human breeding before but it sounded reasonable.<br/><br/>Tarek offered Mina a smile as he ran his hand over her head gently. It seemed she now understood she was his pet, that was a good thing. It laid more of a foundation of their situation. She certainly was a smart one to use the pen and paper to draw what she was trying to say. He had never heard of a human this intelligent before.
