H-hi. Um.
I'mma be gone for a few - uh, for a day.
'Cause I was bad and I bit someone an' Batou says p-punishment is he gotta kill me. I don' remember doin' it but I know I did it and I'll never do it again.
But it's okay 'cause I'll be back an'then I can go for walks!
Hey Mister Batou is there stuff to do when you're dead? Like fetch?

When you're dead, you'll be asleep. Many people believe that your spirit or soul will go to an afterlife, which is a pleasant place where all your desires are satiated. Most people on board simply report feeling a period of deep sedation.
[Thom won't understand that.]
You'll go to sleep.

Oh. I'm not sleepy.
[Wait. That might be taken as defiance. Thom's ears go Flat and his tail goes Down and he cowers a little.]
I mean I'll go to sleep it's okay I don't mind!!

Batou is going to make it painless, so it's not really hurting Thom. Not really. ]
Good dog.
[He does like how submissive Thom is. If only more civilians could be like this.]

Thanks Master Batou.
[Verbal slip between Master and Mister is GO.]

But death isn't a good way to punish people.

Batou's real nice. He says it won't hurt. If I'd done that back home...
It'd be bad.
[Actually his Masters wouldn't have held him culpable in this situation but all Thom knows is how other pets (generally feral captures, not umpteenth-generation pets) have been punished for assaulting their owners. It's not pretty...]

I was lookin' for food and then there was this funny guy an' he grabbed me and then I had dreams and then I woke up and th'Major was on me and my throat hurt. And her arm was hurt and I'd done it.
I'd never ever ever bite someone like th'Major. Pets don't hurt Masters.

[Thom sounds like a child. Nobody told Wolfwood Thom's a dog. But still. Nobody's hurting a child while Nicholas D. Wolfwood's around.]
Where are you kid?

[Yeah that would be Deck 01.]

Like.
Seriously? Seriously, someone's gonna kill you?
[This would make so much more sense if Hiccup knew you were an animal.]
