Jefferson Nickel Sock

Jefferson · The Sock

The sock riding Dong Quixote's shoulder, which he argues with and ultimately concedes to about the loaned carrier.

Story so far

When Prepotente hands Dong Quixote a spare mount-specific Pet Carrier for Gonk, Dong thanks him profusely and then turns to the sock over his shoulder.

Yes, yes, he mutters to it, he knows nothing is ever free. Then, after a pause: but, no, no, you're right. The sock apparently wins the exchange, and Dong keeps the carrier.
