The only monster I know called Ditto is from a videogame and it's a purple blob with a smiley face.

...what a weird name. I guess that's okay though. Not like anything I've ever seen before. [a pause.] Can I ask the name of the monster you're looking for? I don't have to know who it belongs to, but maybe I can help.

[situationship]

It's a Qilin.

[ ya ]

[residentflorist]

...okay! I have absolutely no idea what that is, but maybe I don't need to as long as I recognize the name.

[situationship]

... You know what a deer is?

[residentflorist]

Yeah, we have deer. [surprisingly.] So it's something like that?

[situationship]

All right. What about a dragon?

[residentflorist]

We have dragons, too. [like. to fight. but same principle.]

[situationship]

A qilin looks like a dragon in the shape of a deer.

[residentflorist]

It sounds kinda cute. [that is her takeaway here.] But good to know. If I find someone who's a qilin, you'll be the first person I tell. Or at least as best as I can.

Thanks!
