Ayrie thought about this for a moment, considering her options.

[i]'Wait, a deal my friend. I am in your debt, and I would like to repay it.'[/i] She thought at the spirit. [i]'I would like for you to stay here, as my friend,'[/i] She sent it the mental image of a fennec fox following her, helping her to perform magic and defeat monsters. [i]'I could even help you choose a name for yourself.'[/i]

She was still feeding it feelings of gratitude, and seeing Asran's strength returning she was truly grateful to the spirit.
