-"millenia of servitude" ... also, how he acts/sounds in his true form (sabriel, 158-159)

-talking about orannis (abhorsen, 150)
--** BIG MOMENT: Sam and Lirael ask for help instead of demanding it, and they offer fish in return. Mogget is v wary** "fish when available, and mice, and a songbird" = a good trade in his eyes (abhorsen, 151)

-further evidence: "beside, i am not really who i was even one millenium ago, let alone what i was in the beginning" (abhorsen, 237)

-mogget fucking around with chlorr jfgdfdhjg playing like a real cat (abhorsen, 353)
-SARDINES!! sam gives mogget sardines, which he's never had before, and mogget is suspicious. even though sam gave the cat his word, mogget is used to people saying things and never following through just because he's a ~bound servant~ and not an actual being (abhorsen, 359-60)
