He grinned a little at that one and with another gentle nudge to Sousuke's side replied, "Yeah. You are." Considering he could barely move any water at all just a short while ago, this was still an improvement. They weren't enemies, never were, and he planned on keeping it that way. Friendly competition, a healthy rivalry. They could still keep that between them, couldn't they? Without it, well, none of this would have felt remotely the same.
At any rate, something told him they wouldn't be needing their powers for now, and once they stood in the middle of the busy sidewalk he glanced around in silence to take in the unfamiliar atmosphere of such a big city. No way to sense animals, no way to communicate with them either... Shaking his head, he crossed his arms.
"No. It's best if we don't bring attention to ourselves, even to her." As helpful as it could have been, he didn't want to risk causing any sort of commotion. What if her parents happened to be around and they saw her talking to no one? Or what if they flat out scared her off? They didn't exactly look like two heavenly figures, now did they? Hn. Ok, so maybe this would be trickier than he thought. As he thought it, Rin noticed Sousuke moving beside him before bracing himself up against his leg, probably overwhelmed with the rush of new sights and sounds. He could only imagine how all this seemed to a dog, especially one that wasn't even a dog to start with.
Hoping to provide some comfort, he stroked between his ears again and even rubbed this thumb a bit between his brows. Pure habit really. It worked for regular dogs, maybe it could still work for Sousuke. "We can walk around here to start. Maybe a few blocks just to familiarize ourselves with everything." He began walking forward then, swerving his way through the crowd but never straying more than an arm's length away. "Keep your eyes and ears peeled though. You can hear and see more than I can." With luck, maybe he'd lock on to something.
