[noninjurious]

[... Huh. He's seen the dog a few times around, though he's never paid him much attention before.

Hawk perched on his arm, he mutters to himself.]

It doesn't seem native to this place...

[loyalstrength]

[Koromaru pauses in his daily routine, curiously glancing over to the man. Mostly because he caught sound of the muttering, though only heard one word. (Native..?)

His ears are perked and tilting in his direction, nose wrinkling as he sniffs at the scents.

Till he barks out, you talking to me mister?]

[noninjurious]

[Well, might as well. He slowly walks over.]

Where's your owner?

[loyalstrength]

[His owner? Minato comes to mind, and Koromaru glances back the way he's come from before back at the male. Likely at the dorm!]

[lunateclock]

[This has been a horrible, horrible week. A terrible week.

So as he is slowly walking through the lobby, and he sees Koromaru sitting there--

...wouldn't it be nice to get away from everything and just take Koro-chan for a walk...?

So he turns, smiling somewhat.]

Hey, Koro-chan. Do you want to go for a walk?

[loyalstrength]

[Koromaru brightens up, wagging excitedly and responds in the same manner. Yes, he's up for a walk!

Of course Koromaru isn't blind to the hidden downcast of Minato's emotions, he has sensed something has happened by the way the mood has shifted in the dorm, something that has affected Minato deeply. Like everyone in the team, Koromaru is very concerned. It's brought the protective sense to the dog, it's upsetting to know he hadn't been there to help him.

He couldn't exactly ask Minato what was wrong, he may be able to sense perhaps that the dog was worried by his actions and the like.. but whether Minato said anything or not was up to him. Even so, he'll likely find a way. But for now, Koromaru wanted to get Minato's mind off anything and just enjoy a good walk.

He shuffles out for a moment, till padding back with leash in mouth. Time to go??]

[lunateclock]

[Ah, Koromaru is such a smart dog. He accepts the leash with a quiet 'good boy', connecting it to the dog's collar. It's all for show, really; Minato knows Koromaru would never run off without him. But they have a routine and they stick to it, even in Vatheon. It's comforting, really.]

Where should we go today?

[He asks as they walk, out the door and into the city. He doesn't mind handing control of their path over to the dog; it's nice to follow instead of lead every once in awhile, and he trusts Koromaru to pick a good path.]

[loyalstrength]

[At the familiar click, he keeps still and waits patiently for the male to be ready himself. When he stands, the canine follows naturally in step with the teen, not missing a single step as they guide each other to the door.

Koromaru immediately understands the role, and while he's still at Minato's side, he takes a few strides ahead to take lead of the walk. The ends of his nose twitches, sniffing at the becoming familiar scent, though he seems to be taking a more quiet path.]

[garbagecanned]

[While Yosuke was out and about, he just...so happens to see the dog. He grins and wanders over, putting his hands in his pockets.]

What're you up to, boy?

[loyalstrength]

[Ears perk, stopping in step as his curled tail starts to wag in a friendly manner at the boy approaching him.

He remembers him from before, so of course he's happy enough to greet him with a bark! As it goes for what he's up to, he glances ahead and back up to Yosuke. Just on a stroll!]

[garbagecanned]

Heading somewhere? Or just walking?

[He just wants to clarify. If he's just walking, Yosuke can always tag along. It'd probably give him a chance to see more of the place, anyway.]

[loyalstrength]

[There's a brief shake at his first question, though at the second he responds with another bark with a casual tail wag.

It's a pretty nice day for a walk, and Koromaru only doesn't go out if he's not feeling for one. By the fact he hasn't moved on ahead, he seems to be awaiting for Yosuke's words.]

[neutral_loli]

[While taking a walk around Vatheon, Liechtenstein spot the dog. She remembers seeing the dog some time ago, when he first arrived to Vatheon. She approaches the dog and smiles at him]

Hello, boy. [Ack, she forgot his name! Sorry, Koro] How are you doing?

[loyalstrength]

[It's a sorta familiar face, at least from after the first meeting. He pauses as she approaches him, curled tail giving a relaxed sway with a light tilt of his head.

Though he barks, seeming quite fine actually! He emits a curious whine after, as though asking in turn.]

[neutral_loli]

[She kneels and holds out her hand. While she may want to pet Koromaru, who could resist a cute dog, Lichtenstein knows that he may not be entirely comfortable with her.]

I've been doing fine. Did you manage to find your owner?

[loyalstrength]

[Her concern over him and his owner seems to have the canine a little more relaxed, if a bit more friendly. He's forgetting any troubling thoughts he may have and nudges his nose gently against her hand, giving a nod to her question.]

[pristinestar]

[Around Lower District, at Coral Corral area, Red's standing out near his house's gates. He's wrapped in a big scarf, holding his arms together. He just stands still and watches out.

He's been sick, so he couldn't roam around as much. For now, he's just taking it easy and having a little walk for refreshing air. It's stuffy to stay in bed all day, after all.

Though, upon noticing the dog that's passing by, he can't help but smile out towards him. He walks closer, then greets:]

Oh... Hello there.

[loyalstrength]

[Koromaru has taken to exploring sometimes during his walks, if not just to familiar himself with the underwater city. It would help if he was going to be around for a while in case a time ever comes to needing to find his way somewhere.

Ears twitch at the sound of footsteps, coming to a light halt as the Shiba Inu lifts his nose to sniff in the direction of the male. There's something sorta familiar, it's good he has an excellent scent so even faint scents can be caught. He definitely can catch a whiff of N.

He barks to the boy, greeting him.]

[pristinestar]

[That had Red curious. It seems that the cute dog caught a sense of familiarity in him. But what could it be?

Red smiles softly further, then bends his knees to the Shiba Inu's level as that expression gets directed at him now. At the same time, Red studies the dog's eyes.]

Hmm... I can feel that you're a strong one. That's really impressive.

Ah, right. I'm Red, by the way...

[loyalstrength]

[That he's strong? Really? Well, the canine trains hard, especially entering the Dark Hour and facing The End. He didn't expect someone to notice of course. Intelligent red eyes watch back, jaws closed as he lifts his furry head with ears twitching to the given name.

Red, he'll remember that. He barks once, following by a soft ruff-like sound. He would tell you his name is Koromaru, except Aigis isn't here to translate. Though.. N understands him too, but he doesn't look to be around either. Oh well, he can probably get the hint that the canine understood.]
