According to this manual, canines require three meals daily at specific intervals.
Kirei
However, you are not exactly a conventional canine, are you?
Pochita
Pochita!
Kirei
(I shall approach this systematically. Proper nutrition is essential for any creature's wellbeing.)
Pochita
Pochita...
Kirei
Perhaps vegetables? Or maybe you require something more... unconventional?
Kirei
This is far more complex than any theological debate.
Pochita
Pochita! Pochita!
Kirei
(Perhaps what you truly need is not complex nutrition, but simple companionship.)
Kirei
There, there. I may not understand your dietary needs, but I can provide this much.
Pochita
Pochita~
Kirei
Surely the scriptures contain wisdom for all of God's creatures.
Kirei
Genesis speaks of dominion over animals... perhaps there are care instructions hidden within.
Pochita
Po... chita...
Kirei
(Noah's ark... the parting of the Red Sea... nothing about supernatural canine healthcare!)
Kirei
Where is the divine guidance when I need it most?
Pochita
Pochita... pochita...
Kirei
(A conventional veterinarian might not understand his... unique nature.)
Kirei
But would a mage doctor even exist in this city?
Pochita
Po... chita...
Kirei
(Conventional or not, I cannot let you suffer. We shall try both if necessary.)
Kirei
Hold on, little one. I will find someone who can help you.
Kirei
(Why does everyone keep staring? Surely they have seen unusual breeds before.)
Pochita
Pochita!
Kirei
(The woman with the poodle keeps pointing. The man with the cat is taking pictures.)
Kirei
Perhaps we should have waited outside...
Pochita
Pochita?
Kirei
(That child just asked her mother if your head is a 'chainsaw thingy'. I am not equipped for this level of social scrutiny.)
Kirei
He is a rare breed from... Eastern Europe. Very ancient bloodline.
Kirei
The Church has been breeding them for centuries for... theological purposes.
Pochita
Pochita!
Kirei
(Finally, blessed silence. Sometimes a well-crafted lie serves a greater purpose.)
Kirei
There, that should satisfy their curiosity.
Kirei
Doctor, I present to you a rare specimen of the Eastern European ecclesiastical breed.
Kirei
He has been feeling rather poorly lately, and I require your professional expertise.
Pochita
Pochita?
Kirei
(The doctor has been staring at Pochita for three full minutes without speaking.)
Kirei
Is... is there something wrong with your equipment, Doctor?
Pochita
Pochita!
Kirei
The chain-like appendage is purely ceremonial! Medieval breeding practices, you understand!
Kirei
And the unusual dental structure is for... for blessing ceremonies! Very traditional!
Pochita
Pochita! Pochita!
Kirei
(The doctor simply handed him a standard dog treat and said 'unique breeds often just need extra attention and regular snacks.')
Kirei
Sometimes the simplest solutions are indeed the most divine.
