"Oh. They will do well in the wilds. They were captured by the same seller and I haven't moved them." He gives the cage a wary look. "The kipine has a nasty temperament and delivered a terrible bite to one of my staff. We haven't tried to move it out of the cage."

The second question he shrugs at because he doesn't know. "The Shedu will grow in intelligence but the kipine will stay at the level of a child. How good is this friend at animal training?"

Lucifer considers this. "The angel in question has an intuitive understanding of wild animals."

"They can both be trained to live together if the angel can manage the kipine's temper with hunting."
