All over

[Roxas can be found all over the place, 50% of the time accompanied by a cat of huge size, his orange Maine Coon Jellybean. Like a tiny guardian cat.

He's up for pretty much anything, especially food related things.]

[ooc: If there's anything you want to do with Roxas, feel free to PM this account or hit me up at chromatus]

soft awoo

[yousaytron]

[The wolf freezes as the cat hisses, though looks almost as if he's ready to chase after Jellybean as he tears off. It's only by Roxas' presence that he remains in place, and only by Roxas speaking up that his attention is taken off from where the cat disappeared to.

Okay, human person, let's see if you're more willing to get along than your cat is...! It's tough being around your favorite person when he doesn't remember you, or another good person who doesn't remember you either or seem quite... the same. Meeting someone new should be an interesting and hopefully positive change of pace. He moves on over to Roxas at an even pace, still a little on alert but looking quite receptive to actually meeting him.

Here, you get one (1) big fluffy wolf sniffing at you now.]

[missingache]

[Whoa! The wolf is coming closer! Roxas stays still, trying not to look threatening. Though he doesn't understand how someone can look threatening to an animal. Act big and scary? This wolf looks like he could easily be bigger than Roxas when standing on his hind legs. Then again, the blond doesn't want to scare him.

That's when he remembers the books said something about crouching down to the animals level. So he does with a smile, holding his hand out as the big pretty puppy sniffed him.]

Hi. I'm Roxas.

[yousaytron]

[With as much time as he spent around people... a few of them, at least, the wolf isn't entirely shy of new people. He just needed to make sure that Roxas isn't a threat in the first place, but now that he's made up his mind about meeting him, he seems pretty amiable.

He takes in the smell of this newbie, tail still moving in a friendly manner, before licking the offered hand a few times.

Would you like to attempt to pet the beast? Y/N]

[missingache]

[This is a good sign? Yes. A very good sign. Roxas tries to contain his excitement when his hand is licked. Jellybean did the same thing when he found that scruffy beast of a cat, except the cat had then proceeded to chew on his fingers for a while. At least the wolf isn't doing that for now.]

You're really pretty. Is someone here your owner?

[It's to be assumed so, right?

And YES. An attempt will be made to pet the precious pupper.]

[yousaytron]

[The prettiest pup for sure, with his odd markings and softly glowing patches of fur... He understands the praise plenty well, and leans into the petting, but really has no way of understanding or answering that question. It's fine, though! As long as Roxas is willing to give him attention, he has no problem in sticking around and returning the favor.

That is to say, the licks are moving from Roxas' hand over to his face.]

[missingache]

[The odd markings just make him more charming!!!!]

I like your blue- H-Hey!

[Licking on the face feels funny. Roxas starts laughing at the rough tongue against his cheek, half heartedly pushing the wolf away. With a big smile he decides to hug the canine as much as he can, burying his face in the mane. That's what it is, right?]

You're so soft!

[yousaytron]

[He seems to get the gentle message of 'cut that out!' and doesn't pursue any more face-licks for the time being. The hug is also fairly well received, and he lets Roxas snuggle into him with no fuss.

It's about then, however, that he seems to hear something coming from the direction he came from! Suddenly at alert, ears and head pointed to some kind of distant noise and his tail slowing to a still. Hmm, what could that be...?]

[missingache]

[Roxas notices the change in demeanor and lets go of the wolf. He looks where the canine is looking to see if he can spy anything.]

Is someone there?

[yousaytron]

[What is it, what is it...? Shortly, Roxas might notice a voice calling out,]

Come on, I know I saw you around here a minute ago!

[To which the wolf's tail begins to wag playfully, and he leans up against Roxas before warping over to the source of the voice, taking Roxas with him.]

Aha! There you - [And, Keith blinks in surprise.] - Roxas?

[missingache]

[Ah! Roxas knows that voice! And he's all ready to call out to Keith when-




Okay. This. Uhm. Roxas looks more than a little confused as he stares at Keith.]

Whoa... what just happened?

[yousaytron]

[Keith reaches forward, petting the wolf’s head to give him a little reassurance of ‘I’m glad I found you’ and ‘what a good wolf you are’ because that’s clearly what the beast was after in warping his way over like that.]

That’s... something he can do. [Roxas looks like he’s okay, if not a little startled, so at least he doesn’t have to worry about whether or not the wolf had been getting along with him well before the whole teleportation nonsense. Still, may as well ask,] You’re okay, right? That didn’t catch you too off-guard or anything?

[missingache]

.... that's really handy! [Wolf gets a hug for being amazing.

After the hug, Roxas nods.] I'm fine! I just never teleported anywhere without a shrine or one of my gods. Kinda felt a little funny, but not in a bad way. Is this your wolf?

[yousaytron]

[Thank you for being so kind about his innate incredibleness! Your attention is appreciated, Roxas.]

I guess, yeah. [Keith gives the wolf one more pat on the head. Good boy.] I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like him before, but neither has anyone else in the temple. He likes to follow me around mostly, though.

[missingache]

[Best wolf ever. Hands down.]

So he's your friend? You got a lot of good friends. [Including the cats.] Does he have a name?

[yousaytron]

[The goodest and best wolf...!]

Ah, probably. [What kind of answer is that??] I mean, he's really big, so I figure he's all grown up and has his own name. I just don't know what it is.

[Oh. Okay.]

[missingache]

.... but... if he's your pet, you're the one who names him.

[Just like he called your cat Bacon.]

Unless you speak wolf.

[yousaytron]

[He'll be a little more firm in not giving the wolf a silly name like Bacon, no matter how much the cat's name may have grown on him.]

It'd be kind of weird, if he already has a name. [Assuming whoever raised the wolf gave him one (he didn't), sticking him with something new out of nowhere would probably be confusing for the poor canine.] It'd be like... if we didn't get to keep our regular names when we start working with a new god, and had to just adjust to being called something entirely new all the time.

[YEAH HOW WEIRD WOULD THAT BE.]

[missingache]

[.......................................................

At this moment Roxas realizes just how weird Keith was. Doesn't make him like Keith any less, but it's still. Different. That Keith believes animals come already named.

KEITH. YOU'RE SO WEIRD.]

... r-right. That makes sense.

[Only half of it does.]

[yousaytron]

[Only animals that are old enough to already have a name! Gosh!!

Maybe more than that, too. But, it's fine. This is fine.]

He seems like he's getting on well enough, either way. [To the wolf,] Right boy? [And, since it's pretty clear Keith's talking to him, the wolf wags his tail a bit and moves in to get some sweet, sweet attention from him. Pets, ear scratches, the whole nine yards.]

[missingache]

[That.......... you know what, this is a Keith-ism. It's fine. It's fine.]

He's a good boy. Though he doesn't look like a normal dog at all...

[yousaytron]

[Everything is fine.]

It is strange, right? [Not that Keith minds, he'd never go out of his way to make such a good boy feel bad just for not looking like anything found on Earth.] It makes me wonder where he might have come from.

[missingache]

With colors like that he kinda reminds me of the night sky. Like he fell right out of space. [He laughs a bit.] Maybe he's actually a star in wolf form.

[yousaytron]

[That's a pretty whimsical thought, but something about it is pretty appealing at the same time. He does find a kind of comfort in stargazing, and it's hard to deny that the wolf has a celestial sort of feeling to him...]

Maybe. [Is he just playing along, or does he actually think this is a plausible scenario? Who knows...!] It'd be nice to know for sure, but as long as he's doing fine here, then it doesn't seem like that big of a deal.

[missingache]

He looks happy, and he seems to really like you. He might like it here a lot.

[Which is sweet. What a good wolf, watching over and caring for Keith.] Though Jellybean's not too fond of him. Yet.

[yousaytron]

[Is it the location, or the company that he likes? It doesn't really matter that much, as long as he's happy and healthy.]

Ah, yeah... [Sorry about scaring your friend there, Roxas :c] The other cats are still skittish around him, too. I can try to keep him away from yours until he gets more used to him being around.
