"Animals...." His face twists up in the most confused look. Like he'd probably pull somethin' if he got even more perplexed.

He's never owned an animal in his life. He doesn't even have strong feelings for 'em. They're there. They do their thing. So long as they don't mess with him that's fine by him.

He's never been more ill-equipped to handle anything in his life. Okay, probably fighting the little robots and the corrupted fire sprites he could do. But the animals? Nah. He's gonna leave that to someone else.
