The pooka's ears flatten out at Adir's reply.

"Oh, haha, you're going to put me on the spot? Ummm..." the pooka dithers back. Apparently it hadn't really thought this far ahead.

Pookas are devious like that, so it's hard to guess.

"Ah! Oh oh I know! I was born here in the Dreamlands, so getting out is really tough. I want to see the Waking World! After you rescue Cassie-Cute-As-Puppies I want you to take me with you."

Well!

Surely nothing bad could come of that, right?

No way letting a trickster spirit out into the world could harm anyone?
