Well, I suppose you'll have to ask the people who told you of that rule.
[But he's not too concerned about it. Besides, he enjoys talking about animals more.]
Yes, I did have a tiger in my shop and creatures even more exotic. A dragon, a totetsu, a kirin, they are all among the animals that have lived at my shop.
The totetsu is a relative of the sheep with a man's face and a tiger's fangs. It's a very rare species that used to roam Ancient China. [He'll not mention the man-eating part...]
And the kirin is a beast of Chinese legend. Many emperors are said to have made pacts with them. The ruler who is selected by the kirin will have his desires granted by the creature.
Of course. Although they are almost impossible to find, they are quite real.
[And he did say he had one in the shop, didn't he?]
The kirin is quite a ferocious beast. While it may grant desires, the cost isn't cheap... [And usually involves a good amount of blood being spilled...]
Kirin are very compassionate creatures and will even tread carefully to avoid stepping on plants and insects. Perhaps, you could say that it's simply in their nature.

[ There's a couple questions there, though. One being 'why the hell would a sheep want to have a man's face' but the pact thing seemed weird. ]
What's the kirin thing supposed to get out of those deals?

So what, that's the only way it gets the stuff it needs? By getting stuck in those pact things all the time?
[ Sounds like it sucks to be a kirin. Then again, he doesn't really get how they're supposed to be able to grant desires in the first place. ]
That sucks.
[Voice]
[So, it won't simply make a pact with just anyone.]
[Voice]
[ Maybe it's not as much about concern as it is surprise that something would go out of the way all the time. At least, that's how it seems. ]
