[She's not the only person blaming him for their new addition - which is terribly unfair, given Anders started all of this and he's just trying to help a friend. But people in Wonderland can just be so unreasonable at times. And weird or at least come from worlds which don't always make sense, be it the people themselves or the things they do for entertainment.]
Could too! [Sounds about right, yeah.] I had to explain, you are weird enough to think Pete would be a good name. Maybe you wouldn't have gotten it on your own.
[And she was the one who thought hers needed explaining. When it's her joke that does as he has only faintest idea what a giraffe is, mostly that it's definitely not the sort of thing you keep as a pet.]
Maybe you could name this one Orange. [He pets a small black kitten.] That would be better than Pete. [At this point he wouldn't be surprised if one of the cats ends up with that name just to annoy him. Ah well. It's not actually that terrible a name. Just boring.]
Why don't I help you get them all to your room while you try and think of decent names?
[Yes he got her the box but there are eight of the kittens to be transported and he remembers how difficult it was to get them down here in the first place. The least he can do is offer to help transport them to their new home. Plus it will help ensure none escape and turn up later and need to be rehomed. Or get adopted by Anders. Who is not allowed to keep too many for himself for Alistair's sake.]
