Caitlin listens, through the awkward fits and starts of his request, tense with a kind of dread regarding where the conversation is liable to end up going until he actually gives Diefenbaker's name, and she visibly relaxes again. She's heard a lot about the wolf, and with Fraser being not only able but willing to seek out the company of other people, she's pretty sure that he won't wind up being a social crutch. And if he is, well -- they'll talk about it.

Besides, she can't deny that she kind of wants to meet this incredible, brave, deaf, life-saving wolf. He sounds as interesting as Fraser himself. "I think sometimes you have to be a little selfish," she points out. "Otherwise how are you ever going to actually get what you want?" She takes another sip from her mug and sets it down. The companionship might even be a reward for being bold enough to ask for something for himself, even if it took him a minute to get there. "I think it sounds like a great idea. Go ahead and put in a request on the network, and if you need me to sign off on anything, let me know."
