MEANWHILE, some weeks ago.

Daisuke is doing his cleaning day because it's his cleaning day. Technically, it's always his cleaning day because no one wants to volunteer to do grunt work unless they're put on a schedule. Daisuke has no problem doing the thing so others can be happy- because that makes him happy. Besides, there was someone coming by to pick up the pup.

Indeed, with help from Ikiko who claimed to do some searching. (Daisuke does not know she can talk to dogs at this point.), and his own looking around- the dog has no home- or, at least one that isn't very very far away. Regardless, this means the poor pup has a home with Mio now of course. If she wants him.

He puts the broom up and walks over to the cage and lowers himself a bit. "I hope you're ready, boy~" he says to the pup.

The Animal Care Club's door is wide open, so Mio doesn't have to knock- she's expected anyways!

Queen Beryl has posed:
Mio walks in slowly. She leans in a bit, as though afraid there might be something else going on. Her bright purple eyes scan over the room until they find Daisuke, at which point she walks quietly over to him. If he's not looking at the door she might startle him - the girl makes very little noise.

"Hansuke-san." she says, quietly, as she gets close to him. "I have come. Is the animal doing well?" she asks. Her eyes show a sort of genuine caring that likely few people who've interacted with her have ever seen - it's the caring for the dog, the same caring that caused her to bring him here.

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke aieeeeeee! He stands up suddenly and straight because, yes, Mio snuck up on him and he didn't expect to hear Hansuke out of the blue like that. He turns around and faces Mio!? "Oh---hello!? I didn't hear you come in." he says as he places a hand to his chest and pats a few times. He's going to have like a heart attack before he's eighteen at this rate.

"Yes, the dog is doing well. Have you decided if you want to keep him or not yet?" he asks as he gently walks over to the storage supply closet and begins to open it expectantly. "Have you thought of names, if you are?" he asks as he taps his foot curiously.

Queen Beryl has posed:
"If you haven't found anyone to take care of him..." Mio says, her eyes wandering around the room "...then yes, I think..." she stops. She's searching for the words. She does this very often. "I think it would be nice."

She turns to him, shaking her head, which sends her bright BRIGHT red hair going all over the place. "I haven't considered a name for him." she says, quietly. "I just... knew... my name. Do you think he knows his name?" she asks, curiously. "I read most people are named by other people. I don't think I was."

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke remembers the awkward pauses from last time, also, that slimy feeling. Luckily, he has ADVICE and he's ignoring it as best he can which he generally does without too much issue right now, he's smiling at least now and it doesn't look too forced.

Not like last time where he might aswell been sweating and stammering.

He shakes his head. "If he knows his name, he can't tell us, now, can he! Because I don't speak dog." of course, if this dog can talk like Luna or something---- it hasn't done so yet to him at least. He's pretty sure this dog is normal and not a spacecat/mooncat.

He hrmmms and taps his chin. "He'll need a name Mio. Aswell, do you know how to take care of a dog?" he asks curiously. He opens the cage to let the dog out- but only after going across the room to shut the door. He motions for the dog to come over to Mio best he can. "Heh, if I could talk to animals... my job would be incredibly easier." he admits.

Queen Beryl has posed:
Mio nods. "I guess... hmmm. I've never had to name anything before." she says, quietly, looking at Daisuke. "Have you named an animal before? You must, being around them so often."

Then, there's a moment where she says, ever so quietly, "I don't think the other you that I know spent so much time with animals." That's all she says, and it's back to talking about the dog. "You said he was well again? It would make me very glad to see that."

"I think I was worried about him when I brought him to you. I didn't like seeing him unwell."

Then Mio shrugs. "I can't talk to animals either. I bet someone can, but not me."

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke tries to ignore that 'other you' statement like he doesn't want to talk about it. But---it's also rude to ignore someone talking to you. So. All he ends up saying is--- "Yeah...". Then he pauses. "I have named animals before, yes." he says as he pats his upper pants leg and the dog comes barrrrreling over from inside the cage and jumps. He hehs and picks him up and hands him over to Mio. "Here, he's small enough for you to hold." indeed, the dog seems full of energy and wellness and not terribly sick anymore. It may or may not try to lick Mio's face.

"How about.. Mitsui! Because he's 'well' again." he says with a sideways smile.

"I'm sure someone can, but that isn't you or me, but animals talk in thier own way." he says. "Place him down on the floor when you've held him enough and--- kneel down a little, play with him. I have something I need to get..." he says as he opens the storage cabinet. He taps his chin as he looks inside.

Queen Beryl has posed:
Mio takes the puppy from him and holds it. The dog licks her face because it's a puppy dog, and Mio, despite herself, grins a bit. Then she holds him close to her. "You are very cute, Mitsui...?" she says, phrasing the potential name as a question.

The dog just barks and licks her face again, and she grins back at it. "I will take that as a yes, Mitsui." she says, then she turns to Daisuke. "Thank you, Hansuke-san." she says, sitting down with the dog. Mio taps the ground, and the dog chases her hand - she repeats this process on either side, the dog letting out little excited barks as it moves from left to right.

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke takes an old plastic take-away bag that's one of a few in there- recycling is important!- and places one of those combination food and water bowls in, a small bag of food, and a collar and a leash- all donations or bought by someone in the Animal Care Club- they've been cleaned or mended at one point or another. He also takes out a small book, courtsey of a real veternarians office and closes the cabinet. He places the bag and the book down on a nearby table.

"That's some supplies to get you started. You're going to need to see what he likes, food wise, but get some dry food and wet food- it's important to have both. The booklet has care tips for a first time dog owner- and the front is stamped with the vet's office who gave us the books--- we work in a pinch but more serious things should go to a real veternarian." he smiles. He can magically heal almost anything he's sure, but- well. No point in advertising that.

"Hey now, he seems to be taking to you well, so that's good." he smiles. "Make sure to get him a bed and some toys, too." he says softly. "--and make sure you get him registrered and liscened um..." he says as he taps his chin. "Right---" he gets up and walks to the desk up front and taps at the computer a bit. He gets two print outs. He places them inside the book. "There's my record of what I did, so any proper vet can add it to thier records. Though we can't do much here, an simple antibiotic shot should be known about just in case." he smiles.

Queen Beryl has posed:
Mio takes the bag and nods, listening intently to him - those purple eyes are affixed to him, and she's listening to every little word. It's clear that while she might be a wierd girl on a lot of levels, she has a lot of concern for the well-being of this small, fuzzy animal.

She watches him place the printouts in the book, and repeats - as much for herself as him. "Mitsui will need some more toys, and a bed. And I will speak to the necessary people to get him registered and..."

There's a pause. "And thank you very much, Hansuke-san. For helping Mitsui. I don't know why he was ill, and I had to do something for him. And... you have made me very happy, Hansuke-san." she even bows a little bit.

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke nods. "And--he's going to need a set of shots, so get him to vet, proper. I can't do that here-- chemicals are too controlled for that and our permit only allows us so much." he says. "Otherwise it'd be a thing I'd be happy to do- and would had done- already." he asides.

He bows back softly with a grin, as he takes out the collar and begins to try to wrestle it onto the dog carefully- along with a temporary tag that has the school's address on it- so the dog should find it's way back here should anyone find it if it runs away/gets out. Mio'll need to get her own later.

He gently hands her the leash with a smile. He bows. "You're welcome, Kuroki-san. And---" he digs around in his pocket and hands off a card. "That's my number if you have any questions." he says softly. "I'm glad you are happy at least." he genuinely smiles.

"Now..." he says. "Do you need anything else while I'm here?" he asks curiously.
