[Well hey there little guy. Or, well, big guy. He's certainly no puppy; Riku would be a little happier to see him if he was. She's frowning when she turns the corner, and all the way over to him, looking around and over her shoulder as she goes. She's watching for people, for anyone he could hurt, and anyone who might see him as a threat.]

Again?

[He perks up when she approaches, tail starting to wag a bit. Bark!]

[... Are you serious. Riku's eyebrows shoot up at that, and she stops a couple feet away from him.]

Hey.

[His mind, which was fairly clear before, is now kind of clouded because it's his ~alpha~. He lowers his head and keeps on wagging. Get over here, Riku.]

[She is, don't worry. She's fairly confident he won't hurt her after last time (and the fact that he is wagging his tail) and doesn't even hesitate as she makes her way over.]

You look better this time.

[He immediately stands up to try and get at her chin once she's close enough, whuffing softly. Indeed, he feels better, if the fact that he's standing says anything.]

[Riku is very surprised by that and brings her hands up out of reflex to catch him or something -- she's half-expecting him to put his paws on her shoulders. But she keeps still while he does that, tilting her face up slightly.]

Definitely better... How'd you get leashed?

[He sits back down when he's finished, and that was definitely a shrug. It was there when he finished transforming.]

[She's kind of gaping at him, because this is a radical change compared to how he was that first time he transformed. Not that she's complaining any. She wasn't looking forward to seeing him in pain.]

Well... Better than you running loose.

[...speaking of which, why isn't he all crazy.]

[His teeth click in response to that, followed by a growl. He doesn't want to be tied up right now, thanks. Not when he's pretty damn certain he wouldn't attack anyone.]

[She raises an eyebrow at him.]

You want to be killed? Because that's what's going to happen if someone sees you running loose.

[His ears slip back a little at that. He hadn't thought of that.]

Yeah. Doesn't sound too good, does it?

[You'd think she'd act more worried about everyone else's safety. A pack of werewolves isn't what they need around here. But she reaches up instead (slowly, so she doesn't startle him) to place a hand on the side of his face.]

[He doesn't move, looking at her curiously. He's sort of... half there, if she can tell.]

[She can tell he understands her, and that's good enough for her. Will he accept sort-of pettings?]

Maybe I can move you out of here.

[He perks up at that, then looks to where the leash is tied to the chair leg. ...also pettings are totally nice.]

[Then he's getting some side-of-face/throat pettings real quick before she moves over to the chair to investigate.]

[It appears to be just tied on there like one would tie a dog leash to a pole or something, but he hasn't been able to break it or pull it off or ANYTHING. The chair isn't even attached to the ground.]

[Will it budge at all if she tries to move it?]

[Of course it will! He just can't do anything with it himself.]

[Then she'll untie it and pick it up.]

[He stares at her for a moment, then at the leash, then rolls his eyes and growls. Stupid thing.]

[Riku smirks, running her free hand smoothly down the top and back of his head.]

Come on.

[He closes his eyes for a moment, then tilts his head. Where are they going?]

[She's going to try to lead him away from the main area, keeping a firm grip on that leash even though she's pretty sure he could overpower her like this.

That's a good question! Somewhere away from people, with open space.]
