Well yeah! How else would you take out a puppy smuggler?
[She's just grinning, clearly amused by his incredulous tone.]
Sort of, in a way. Turns out the puppy is just too cute! It's so cute, that when the assassin sees the smuggler bending down to give it his last goodbyes, he just can't stand the idea of parting 'em. So he agrees to fake his death, let the guy live on the run as an ex-smuggler. A dangerous life in this world of illicit animal smuggling rings that don't forgive you for turnin' your back on 'em, but he's okay with it. He's got his little pup with him for the whole journey after all!
[That is a satisfying ending, don't you think?]
Oh, but the assassin didn't get to pet him. Poor guy is too intense, scared the little shit before he had the chance. That's why he's an assassin and not a smuggler.
