[yesssss. There's a very dim excitement in her eyes, now, though it definitely still isn't the way a kid would usually react to being told they could get a pet of their own.]

Mm, I don't know. Maybe a dog? Or a bird... I didn't want to think about it too much, in case it wasn't allowed. [Those are the ones that always immediately pop into her head, though. Dogs, especially. Preferably one like her puppy, rather than those big dogs... Though they had been good, as well.] The doctor might have something else in mind. It's okay. I've read about a lot of animals.
