[ Minato blinks and looks to Ange. He can't imagine why that might be the case. She's been perfectly nice to him in his opinion. It's why he raises a brow at her as she gives Koromaru some good pets. ]

Why not?

[ Sure, she's a little standoffish, but who isn't?

Koromaru's tail wags as soon as Ange's hand settles on his head. He pants contentedly; this is better than having a ball thrown for him. ]

... I don't know. Maybe he did think that.

[ Minato's gaze shifts to Koromaru. Perhaps he'll never know. It's not like he can understand the dog, but... maybe he'll ask Aigis sometime. ]

He's pretty smart. I guess if anyone can figure out how to get here on their own, it would be Koromaru.
