‘I’m getting better.’ And yes, that was a threat right there. Sousuke knew it was motivation and he appreciated that. Even if they’d only been together a short time, the idea of Rin being better than him at something never sat ‘well’ with Sousuke. But in a positive sense. He wanted to one up him almost as much as he wanted to see just how much Rin improved. Which bothered him whenever he stepped back and looked at it without the heat of excitement wrapping up the moment. But it was different between them. Controlling water versus controlling love was… well… Sometimes it was best not to think about it and just dive in without asking. They didn’t need to go hitting each other in the head with their respective powers over and over.
Sousuke was still having issues building barriers as it was. But he was going to get better. No matter how much he had to work for it.
And he was not standing against Rin’s leg because he was nervous, thank you so very much! He was standing there because he didn’t feel like dealing with the hassle of someone walking between him and his god; that was all. There were a lot of people around and even if they couldn’t see them, it didn’t mean (he assumed) they could simply walk through people like ghosts. Besides… being close to Rin calmed him.
‘Uh-huh.; Sousuke stepped forwards as Rin did, paws nigh-silent on the pavement as they moved. So Rin couldn’t sense any animals, location-wise, but him. But that was probably because he was Rin’s shinki, not because he was a dog. ‘Should we meet her then?’ Just a suggestion. Maybe she could give them some more hints as to where she’d last been with her dog? Or offer some kind of idea about what the city’s rules were on stray animals. Did the dog have a collar? Should they check the pound? Why was he thinking so much about this? He turned his head and focused on the park entrance as he walked past it. Better, something solid to deal with rather than running his brain on what if’s and such.
And then the quiet of the park vanished and Sousuke was left standing next to Rin in the middle of a big, busy city. He tilted his head back, looking up at the towering skyscrapers, the neon lights glowing strange colors in his vision. And of course, the people, Walking all over, sending scents and sounds he never would’ve picked up as a human flooding into his head. For a moment, the sheer amount was staggering; he wasn’t used to it, and he Sousuke leaned against Rin’s leg again, bracing himself via the support. Head rush…
‘Depends on how long the dog’s been missing, and whether it’s a friendly dog. I guess a poodle shouldn’t be hard to spot though.’ White with pink bows and all.
