[Tifa nods knowingly at his comment. Those games are never easy to win, but she's managed to somehow get lucky with... most of them. Maybe the trick all along is to just have the dogs go up and ask nicely...

At the mention of the toy, Aerona digs her nose into the hole and picks it out. It's a small bear with a top hat covered in dirt and looking a bit worse for wear, but she drops it right at Kazuma's feet and barks at him.]

Oh? Maybe it really is for you.

[chippedsoul]

[He blinks, watching the dog's insistence to give him the toy. He comes forward to pick up said toy, Aerona's bum wiggling excitedly.]

You sure, huh...? Well, thank you. [May be covered in dirt and dog slobber, but he appreciates the gift. She gets a few headpats.] Satisfied now? No more running off then?

[starshower]

[Aerona barks again, her tail waggling so uncontrollably that her back legs are almost lifting off the ground, and so Tifa wanders over and picks her up to help with that. Meanwhile, she's already trying to plant some wet kisses on Kazuma's face for accepting her gift.]

That sounds like a yes to me. Going to take her home so she can rest for a while.

[And not cause any trouble.]

[Tifa lifts one of Aerona's paws and waves it at Kazuma.]

Say thank you to the nice man for helping me find you!

[chippedsoul]

[Oh god, dog slobber! He's helpless to stop her attempts as he laughs it off.]

Glad I was able to help you find her. [Who knows how much more trouble she would have dug herself into. He gives Aerona a few headpats.] Will you be able to find your way out? [He still needs to locate Susato in this maze.]

[starshower]

[Aerona obediently barks at Kazuma.]

I think so. I'll have her sniff our way out of here if I have to. She'll do anything if there's the promise of a treat at the end of it.

[Tifa is next to give Aerona a scratch behind her ears. For all the trouble she can cause in a single afternoon, she's still a sweet girl.]

Might stay behind and patch up that hole a bit. I don't wanna have to fight my way out the rest of the way, but don't let me keep you. We'll be good from here.
