[Dragaera] Orca Reconsideration 2

[Sean Whalen]

  I'm not saying Dragaerans don't keep pets, if that's 
what you're arguing against.  I'm saying H[] and Buddy 
are the same age due to the familiar-relationship.

  Buddy hasn't shown any particular skills as a guard 
dog, and I doubt the common use of sorcery would 
make them useful or often used.

 This
 is not the biggest coincidence; it is one of them.
