[Flushed bright from his Thanksgiving dinner at the Winchester home and the port that came before it, it's a half-smiling Piemaker that turns on his communicator one frosty December morning]

I know what I have to do.

To feel better. I know what I have to do to feel better and come back and be a good, responsible warden Alpha can rely on.

I need to go see Chuck. Recharge the batteries, get a fresh outlook and wash down the tables and restart the day again.

I think I'm going home for the day.

Not that different. They've got personalities, they've got a certain degree of self-awareness. You can't muck about with that for convenience.

Well, you can, but it's crossing into villain territory in my book. This "perfect dog" - how'd they get it? Just selective breeding?

Hmmm.

...I've got complicated feelings about that. I wouldn't exist as I am without something very like that 'aving gone on already. But that's not the same as taking me and going, "hmm, she'd be perfect if I just tweaked 'er self control and built in an obedience circuit".

They've got intelligence and loyalty built in anyway, dogs. I s'pose the allergy thing could be useful. I'd still draw the line at messing with a dog that's already 'ere, though.

So was I bred for a purpose. Me and everyone like me. No, I agree wth you, more or less. I just... I s'pose I don't place a lot of value on perfection. That's not where you find the interesting stuff.

I don't really want to breed at all. Dogs or people. We're never exactly short of 'omeless ones, are we?

Don't knock it. If I could get Panda to sign up I'd be set for life 'ere.

My best friend that I've travelled with for years. I 'ad me warden item made to look like 'im.

[She holds up her stuffed toy panda to show him.]

'E's not convinced a ten inch stuffed warden'll be taken seriously enough round 'ere. I 'aven't managed to win that argument yet, I'm afraid.

Swears, mostly.

...Not just to me. We're not talking imaginary friend 'ere, sunshine. Just 'cause someone's small and made of polyester doesn't make 'em not a person, you know.

...Ned, I love you dearly and you've 'ad a bad time recently, so I won't come and clip you round the ear'ole, but you need to remember human's not everyone's default, all right?

Besides, Chuck met 'im. Ask 'er.

It's got sod-all to do with magic. This is someone that's been through horrors and the ends of worlds with me, someone that's saved me life; is it too bloody much to ask that I can talk to a friend about 'im without 'aving to prove 'e's real?

I thought better of you, Ned. I did.

...and don't call 'im bear, 'e hates that.

Oh love, it's all right! I know 'e's a bit unusual, even by unusual standards.

I just miss 'im a lot. It makes me a bit raw, you know?
