[oh, she immediately looks actually curious as opposed to asking questions just to make this interaction less awkward.]

How is that accomplished?

Just a little bit of magic. Bringing inanimate things to life is one of my little specialties.

You have access to your magic here?

...No. But I created Pâté a while ago, and the spell doesn't really wear off... unless he's destroyed and I have to make him all over again!

I see.

[maybe a little disappointed, but she hides it well enough.]

Is he destroyed often...?

Well, he's a little bit fragile and can get in some scrapes.

Do you use him during combat somehow...?

More sneaking around, scouting ahead, that sort of thing. It can be a bit dangerous.

...Useful.

[she hadn't thought of it like that before.]

Yes. He has his little uses. But he's missing so much of his magic here...
