That made Cliff grimace. "Really?" He looked over at Rounder, who rolled carefully down to the ground--and immediately hugged Fluttershy's leg.
"Dude, I like you. I'm sorry your other master was a bag of doorknobs, but I'm going to try and work things out with you. I don't want to get rid of you and I don't think you're a nuisance or anything bad like that. I think you're pretty cool, honestly, and you've already been a big help to me. I don't think I own you or anything, but you're my familiar, okay?"
Though heavens help Rounder's old master if Cliff ever found him or Rounder ever pointed him out. Cliff didn't have a flash fire temper and never had, but this was the sort of thing that could start the slow burn to set him off. He'd have words with the guy, at the very least.
"Thank you so much for your help. I know even all the time I tell him good things isn't gonna fix everything overnight, but at least I have a better idea. We'll get through it together, but you did give me insight I really needed. I'm grateful." The smile Cliff gave her then was very, very real.
