The Daily Stroll[open]

boing, boing a sound of a near by bouncing ball further down the walkway. The man ignored the noise trying to think of a plan for his protege, his patience holding still like a calm crane. When suddenly something had landed on his feet, a large weight that made him temporarily believe he was under attack. His eyes hooting wide open to see large batch of fur wagging back and forth, the fur leading to some sort of human dog creature.

Before the young man could do anything about this "attacker, the attacker finally noticed he was standing there. The odd creature gave a hello, not apologizing. Raising a left eyebrow the young man gave the creature a look up and down, trying to figure what its deal was.

He eventually came to the conclusion that it was some sort of regular resident he never noticed before, and decided it best to act like a normal human. " Are you going to apologize?" he held his mentor teaching demeanor, almost trying to teach the creature a lesson. He loosened up a bit deciding maybe this new thing could explain what it was and where it came from. "What does it look like I am doing? Standing obviously, what are you doing attacking my feet?"

Oh? That was it, then? He had a knack for taking on "dog-like" persona? How far did this go, this made him a bit curious about this creature. This thing had ears that perked up then lowered as if reflecting his emotions, if that was not obvious there was the tail too.

This oddity made the young man push himself off the wall to get a closer look at the creature. He began circling the creature occasionally leaning closer for a better view. The way it stood, the way it seemed to show emotion, why this was quite an experience.

Eventually he stopped back in front of the creature, and the creature offered its hand calling itself 'Jeremy Schmidt". Going to many worlds this sort of thing was a Norm for him, though it still was always an interesting experience. He offered his hand signing the contract of apology and greeting, "Nagi, nice tail and ears you got there. Where you born here?"

So the creature was half whatever its birth mother, and Danger? He was intrigued what sorts of dangers? Were the dangers that of natural world disasters, or more than that? He leaned closer peering with curiosity, "Is that all you know?" he leaned back away slightly unsure whether this creature could have anymore intel, this was almost getting a bit of a bore. "Did you plan to seek your Mother? Is it not your duty as a child to protect her?"


His thoughts began to wonder, specifically how smooth the fur felt, he looked at his hands wanting a little bit more of the feeling. Before he considered the appropriate normal human communication, he lifted his hands toward the head of the creature meaning to pet it between the ears. He himself was unaware of this action, and might be

He blinked a few times realizing his action, what was that? It must have been some sort of leftover from raising a 7 year old for 7 years, what was his deal? He stepped away shoving his hands in his pockets not wanting another soft touch temptation. He thought of a quick way to fix this little situation, to fix his mistake against his own being.

A small worry frown spread across his lips, "What if she really needed you? Are you not better suited with your better gifts?" He paused letting the question sink in before continuing, " Shouldn't you be wanting to do anything to help her out? Is it just not right to move on like she was nothing?" He watched the dog to see if there was any reaction, occasionally checking to see if any of the populace had declined.

Nagi turned his back to the dog arms up in the air in a shrug of "who cares", his reply ton completely covered in mockery. "Ahh that's too bad, it must be nice being raised with only a Father to love. With no idea about anything but a small tiny little town to call home. Such a shame with all those great worlds out there to explore and make new friends in. All because you had no heart to find out what happened to your Mother. We wouldn't want a complete perfect family, would we?"

If this was not going to go anywhere, he debated on leaving, maybe he should visit milo now... It has been several years, the poor boy might miss him, as much as he missed his missing parents. Though at same time, he had all night to explore and waste, he could just do it another day, he had a few years before his apprentice graduation, so much free time... What to do, what to do.

Nagi began walking away almost as if ignoring the dog blabber and question himself. At the very last second he partially turn his head, a bit of a smile on it, "Who knows, fate could help you out. Why not actually try instead of being a coward?"

With that said he began walking away to another district. His eyes partially flashing a brighter yellow at the bit of joy the dog had brought him. Maybe he should pull something similar on Milo? The boy certainly needed the spunk kicker.
