Having one's carbuncle or faerie do amusing things is a great way to break the ice. It's less "face-threatening" because it's not your character potentially being rejected, too.
Some techniques are: have the pet be interested in someone and try interact with them, resulting in you going over to apologize; have the pet be playful with you, such as by stealing something of yours and running over to the other person, resulting in an interaction when you try to get the item back; have the pet want to tease someone (this works best with the faerie) and result in your character having to quickly apologize; have the pet be affectionate or otherwise helpful to you, attracting others who are interested in the cuteness. Of course, one doesn't want one's pet to steal the show or be disruptive, but within the bounds of good taste (or as discussed in advance by /tell), pet actions can be an easy way to start up RP.
