Deva: "No, hedgehogs are not particularly rare back home, nor are they victimized by the slave trade any more than any other species. Faolan himself is not a recovering victim of the trade, nor has done anything that any additional care or protection is required (he does have experience with Pokemon, but this is rapidly becoming more and more declassified). As far as I know, he is not even going to have his name put in that big filing cabinet with everyone else I have legally been responsible for as a pet owner."

"So why am I carrying him in my pouch and smothering him with kisses?" *shrugs* "Do I need a reason?" *licks*

EDIT: No, seriously, fave the artist's submission. I always feel kind of crap when I see that my repost has more faves than the original. Please don't do that.
