Kit nodded. "Yeah, I don't really get how it works either," she said. "If Cheetara ever shows up here, you can ask her about it though; she'd probly be able to explain it better."

"As for what happened to Tookit," Kit said, "the dog Constable probly took him to the Pit. He'd have to fight slaves and other criminals in the arena, and if he won 100 fights, he'd be allowed to go free. I don't think he'd make it, though; he wasn't very tough. That is, if he didn't escape somehow; he's sneaky enough to."
