"Sorry, you can't have it without the cat."
The young dragon made a distressed noise; this was supposed to be a spectacular addition to her still growing hoard, not a pet exchange!
"Does the cat have to stay alive for long," asked the dragon, as the small purring feline perched contentedly on the golden statue.
"At least a decade."
"Oh, is that all? Deal!"
In the end, the cat lived considerably longer under the dragon's care.
