I would definitely choose Poudini, though the idea of the albatross kind of fascinates me as well...

Poudini is an excellent selection for a pet, but the albateoss can probably fly anywhere. It would be the perfect pet in Echoland for me.

I didnt even think of them, but so true! Talk about loyalty!
Yes it was loyalty, but to whom? The prince or Will?
More than likely to the prince since he is where their allegiance lies. But I'm sure will grew on them after 10 years! If not that would be one miserable job...

I really loved Poudini. He was a truly a man's best friend. He stuck by Peter through everything and even cared for Wolfea when she was lonely. Peter was truly heartbroken when he thought that his dear pet had died. This shows the true connection that the two of them had. In contrast, even though Will cared for Wolfea and gave her a better life the two of them never truly achieved the same amount of intimacy.

O think you are right about their relationships. Wills goal with Wolfea was to give her a better life and eventually set her free. They didnt really get the chance to become close

The adventuring part of me, however small, would love the Wandering Albatross. But for being a true pet, I'd have to choose Poudini.

Poudini definitly seems like the safe and normal bet! You cant go wrong with a cute and loyal puppy!

The job was to shadow the prince's sound n a realm where Fate Sealers rarely visited...it must have been a va ation more like, except for inhabiting animal corpses and all.

I feel quite the opposite, there's no way I would pass up that ride on an Albatross. I would probably be packed and ready before it touched down.

Poudini was an amazing companion and pet to Peter and would definitely make a great choice for a pet. I on the other hand am fully commited o the Albatross.
