[The wolf was so excited to have had her beloved buddy back, it had been so long after all. The way they departed from another too worried her, so all these emotions came flying out after he had arrived in Somarium. She naturally would like for

[Kotetsu is one of those people that happens to care greatly about the well being of others. His friends, his family, and even random bystanders. He's a Hero, the safety and health of everyone is a top priority to him. And that can even include the safety and health of animals; innocent and driven purely on instinct, even they deserve to be treated fairly.

So when he sees a rather large, white dog... or, at least, that's what he'll assume it as, downed and looking pretty much the definition of defeated, he can't turn a blind eye.

He inches up slowly toward the creature, as to not startle it, and asks in a resounding, but not intimidating tone:]

Oi, you alright there doggie?

[soloriens]

[Amaterasu's head lifts, sniffing in the approaching man's direction. There's a lot new faces she has yet to meet and familiar herself with, including this one, and by the concerning look and curious tone she can tell he doesn't mean any harm or anything.

She moves to sit up, tail wagging slowly before barking out to him.]

[fiveminutefail]

[And that bark gets a head tilt out of this old man, but doesn't halt his approach. He takes the remaining steps needed to be in front of the animal (he doesn't yet think of her otherwise), and before saying another word or reaching out to pet her, he merely holds his hand out as an offering.

What's the worst that can happen? He can lose his hand. But he's not that dense, he can understand a visual cue when he sees it. A wagging tail is a good, friendly sign.]

[soloriens]

[The offered hand gets first contact with a wet nose, the wolf taking to sniff at it before briefly nudging it atop her muzzle and then her head. She leans into it, as though encouraging the man to pet her. Despite a wolf, she very much acts like a domestic canine. She doesn't resist nuzzling at the hand though, clearly affectionate.

Of course, in her own way she's also greeting him more properly.]

[fiveminutefail]

[He'll take that greeting with a grin, and kneel before her, gently scratching his nails through fur.]

Ah. I guess you're not hurt then, huh?

[That doesn't stop him from double checking though, eyeing the big, white canine left and right, up and down.]

[soloriens]

[Hurt? Not exactly, no. She responds to this by shaking her head, head still perked as she peers up at him.]

[fiveminutefail]

[Smart dog... if only he knew.

At the shake of her head, he makes a little relieved sigh, and resumes his idle scratching and petting. His lips are now pursed in thought, though.]

If you're not hurt, then what's wrong? [He shifts from his kneeling position to sit cross-legged on the floor.]

Didn't lose your owner, did you?

[soloriens]

[Her head shakes at the second question, no she doesn't exactly have one anyways. That would be something, a Goddess being someone's pet. Her fluffy brush-like tail sweeps over the front of her when the man is sitting across from her, angling the inked tip to begin writing on the ground in front of him.

Yup, a wolf just wrote a message for him to read.]

Lost a friend,

[fiveminutefail]

[Oh. Okay... that surprises him, and rightfully so, since he's never seen a dog write with their tail, and never really thought he ever would. In fact, the idea of it never even crossed his mind once. So he gasps in surprise, and merely stares at the message, and then back up to the writer.

He does this for a long moment, before responding just a little awkwardly.]

That so... [He shakes himself out of his shocked stupor, in time to even out the awkwardness with a small, sad laugh. He rubs at the back of his head, and leans back on his hand.] Well, I'm sorry for your loss.

[soloriens]

[The day when someone responds to her writing not shocked and taken aback is when Amaterasu herself will be surprised. So when she watches the expression surface on his face, she merely looks on with a light hint of amusement glimmering in black eyes. She didn't mind it, after all it isn't common dogs and anything close know how to feed and write.

Of course, Amaterasu wasn't just any regular animal so that's what answers that. Her head bows a little the time his reply comes around, lowering her gaze off to the side in her moment of sadness. But she's glancing back, wagging her tail at the man that had taken his time to check up on her.]

Thank you, it happens but even after nine months I'm still not use to it.

[fiveminutefail]

[He's definitely rethinking "dog" here, as that isn't something a dog, or any regular creature in general for that matter, could do. It still comes as a shock to him the second time around, and he gawks for a moment longer than he should before responding.]

Ah, no problem! I know it must be hard, I'd hate to be left alone here, too.

[And then he moves once more to scratch this animal, or thing, or whatever (he'll have to ask at some point), behind the ear. He's absently thinking over being stuck in a situation like this, leaving or being left alone, and it's a bit of a mood dampener.

If he ever leaves, he wants to take his partner and his colleagues with him. That comment on time spent throws him off a little, though.]

You've been here... for nine months? That's a really long time!

[soloriens]

[A pleased whine sounds at the scratching, more than content to lean into it as she closes her eyes and ears perk to listen to his words. It was always hard to be left alone, Ammy found a lot of people she came to know leaving.. It was rough, but having people she cared about still here reminded her to be strong and that everything will be okay.

She blinks back at him, tilting her head. Nine months? She nodded her head, writing out a new message now.]

It is. Some have been here already a year, even two.

[fiveminutefail]

[He continues to scratch, since it both soothes the creature speaking to him and distracts him from dwelling on the idea that he could be stuck here for that long as well.]

So I've heard. [Scratch, scratch, scratch. He sighs.] Wish I didn't...

[soloriens]

[The wolf takes a moment to study his expression, before her tail wags slowly.]

Some don't stay for long at times too. Time at least is still back at home while you're here.

[fiveminutefail]

[He still feels a little weird taking advice from something with four legs, but he's quick to get over that, toss his griefs aside, and offer a little smile in thanks.]

I guess you're right! [He retracts his hands, and folds his arms proudly.] At least I left things on a good note.

[Too bad about the note his colleagues left on, but he knows things will get better for them.]

[soloriens]

[A doggyish smile, wagging her tail happily at the look on his face and given words. At least he was glad for that, it wouldn't be good to be upset and down all the time!

A satisfied whine.]
