Sure, no problem. [Bell had left the two to discuss whatever they were going to talk about--their dreams, hugging, whatever--knowing that if it was of grave importance, Gai would fill Bell in on it later. There was no need for Bell to third-wheel his way around their friendly conversation. He had just come inside from sitting on the front step when she found him

Oh, I know Tenzou! [She knelt down to offer the dog a hand to smell, reaching the other around his neck to try and hold him in place for a bit of scratching.] Though Gai seems to think he's a bit rowdy for visitors.

Around the housing is just fine. At least there's more space for it in Section Three. And this fellow looks like he could use some exercise, I think.

[Laughing, she extricated herself from the dog, got up and held the door open for Bell. There were questions, floating to the surface of her mind, but she kept pushing them back down for now. If nothing came of this but a run with the dog then that was good enough. She'd at least have shown she wasn't averse to his company, no matter what others said.]

Gai just...has a thing against Tenzou. [He smiled wryly behind his scarf.] He seems to think Tenzou wants to eat everyone. [Bell would have been sure it was just Gai, but after being little himself, he was beginning to think Gai might be right. Just don't tell Gai that.]

[There was a slight sigh in his voice, like the tone he might use to mention that Gai liked sparkles: it was tired and long-suffering, but with an overlay of fondness.] Yeah, he's always up for exercise.

[He thanked her for holding the door, letting Tenzou lead the way out of the house and down the path once she was following. They started off slow, even though Tenzou was eager to run around everywhere

I can't imagine why! He's a sweetheart. Though I suppose he's so big that it's better to have a firm hand with him.

[She settled to walk beside Bell, quite used to finding a pace with people who were taller than her. It had made her a fast walker, but that was useful when she was on a tight schedule, which was often these days.]

We have a cat, a calico one. She goes on adventures a lot, though--it didn't really seem right to keep her inside all the time, and it's not like she can be run over by a car here. She's very small, though. Tenzou could probably eat her in a bite--not that he ever would, of course.
