Oh, Dio caught on, and perhaps that was part of what tugged on his heart so. He wanted so badly to reciprocate, to take her up in his arms and kiss her, to hold her as she slept... But it was still too soon. A crush was one thing, becoming the courting couple they'd been once before was another. Still, he planned to do something in time.

For now, he was content to follow them around, careful not to stay in the path of Joseph's big feet and avoid tangling himself up in Masaki's legs. "Would you want that, Joseph...? Coming around to have Masaki feed you?" he asked, looking up at him. If a cat could, he'd be giving the man a smirk. Of course he'd want to be over to see Masaki more, right? And then he could spend some time with Dio too.

Speaking of time spent with Dio, he was still following along toward the shower. He was going to do his best to get in something quick if he had to, but it was a little difficult with Masaki there. It was so weird still, trying to hide things from her.
