[Athena's job is to check everyone to see if they recognize her. Wash has made this very clear. So everyone includes the tall skeleton, whom she hasn't seen before. By extension, that means that the skeleton's little white dog - a familiar, just like her - is also included.]
[Which is great! Because she's been working all day and she's been dying for a playmate and Butter isn't here, but the little white dog is a little dog just like Butter and of course he'll want to play! He's a dog!]
[The fact that dogs and cats play differently has not crossed Athena's mind in this endeavor.]
[So it may be slightly surprising when fifteen pounds of gray Norwegian Forest cat barrels out of seemingly nowhere on a collision course with the little white dog.]
[Yes. She is absolutely going to tackle this dog. It's gonna be great.]
Either Homeward Bound or Wildcard and also I'm so sorry
