every purse owner, even the dog

[willtodefend]

[Koromaru's ears and tail are up. He's interested and he's alert.]

Arf Arf!

[He's excited to have a new adventure! Where are his comrades? He wants to go exploring with them!]

whine

[Tail wagging, tongue lolling. Even if you don't know this dog he's obviously friendly and approachable.]

Hey there, Koro-chan! [One of his best buds, awesome!]

[willtodefend]

Woof!

[Ken-comrade! Yay! Koromaru's tail wags a big harder and he looks like he wants attention]

[nemesisnomore]

[Oh my, it seems we have a shiba in need of earscritches. And pettings. Ken can provide!]

You're here too, huh?

[redpeacoat]

Hey boy. C'mere.

[willtodefend]

[Aaaahh the one who feeds him the nice food! Time for the happiest of Shiba-whines! And a happy tail! And happy trotting in circles!]

Arf!

[Shinjiro-comrade! I wanna lick your face!]

[pishirogane]

[No way she'd say it out loud, but she does like dogs. This one appears approachable.]

Hello there.

[willtodefend]

[She doesn't need to say it, Koromaru can tell! Dogs have ways.

He lifts his nose and sniffs, still wagging his tail. You can come pet!]

[chibibanana]

[well, that's a good thing, given that a small child has suddenly tackle-glomped Koromaru]

Puppy! Hi puppy! Nice puppy!

[is he... trying to climb on the poor dog's back?]

[willtodefend]

[UNEXPECTED SMALL HUMAN. Koromaru whimpers and tries to turn his head to see..

Oh god that's his back. Um. Help? He lies down on his stomach to give his back a reprieve. You are too large for rides, human.]

[rougeamer]

[Hmmm? What's this...? A doggy? Shiro's tilting her head a bit.

...Good doggy? The only one she's ever remotely interacted with was a bad doggy that tried to hurt Ganta, that she had to defeat to save him.

She's blinking at him, mit-covered hand to her mouth with a questioning look. There's sheer innocent curiosity, here.]

[willtodefend]

[Yes! He's a good doggy! He sees the hesitation and sits down, letting his tail thump gently on the ground. He's not threatening, see? He's got his ears up and tongue out and his tail going!

He does that whiney-shiba-talking thing. Nice human?]

[dogspelledbackward]

Bark! [Hello there, friend!

Ammy's tail wags about as fast as it can go, as she pulls a feed bag of meat from... somewhere, and offers it to him.]

[willtodefend]

Woof! [Hello wolf-kin! You're white like he is! And... a lot bigger.

But oh goodness you have food. Really nice food! Koromaru sniffs at it, tail wagging as fast as her's.]

Arf!

[For me? You're the best! praise praise praise]

[petitebreeze]

[O-Oh it's a creature she's never seen before.... Nervous nervous is it safe is it okay... Creature is cute but unfamiliar things are scaaaaryyyyy....]

U-Um.... Hello....

[willtodefend]

[So many people scared of dogs! It's okay! Koro is a good dog! He shows this by perking his ears up and slacking his jaw, thumping his tail softly against the ground.]

Whine.

[evoketh]

[...scratches behind the ears]

[willtodefend]

[Leader! <3

Licks the scratching hand.]

[doudemoe]

Hey Koromaru. Ready for a walk?

[willtodefend]

Arf Arf!

[He was born ready for a walk! Koro gets to his paws and wags his tail.]

[shoujonojustice]

[Oh...oh god, it's a dog. M-maybe if she walks by quietly, he won't chase her?]

[willtodefend]

[Koromaru doesn't chase people silly!

See he's a good dog! Lying down on his stomach and wagging his tail.]

Not a comrade, but.

[f_steak]

Hey, tough guy! Aren't you cute!

[Chie loves dogs. This one seems both affectionate and smart, qualities she appreciates! She presents her hand to be inspected and smelled.]

Where'd you come from, anyway?

close enough <3

[willtodefend]

Woof!

[Yes he is! Good of you to notice! Koromaru eagerly sniffs at her hand and gives it a little lick, tail wagging.]

whine

[I came from the Naganaki shrine!]

[diemtocarpe]

Hi Koro-chan!

[Miharu kneels to Koromaru's level, patting her lap.]

C'mere~

[willtodefend]

Woof woof!

[Leader! Koromaru's tail wags super fast and he's over and on her lap in a second, slobbering on her face.]
