[ Terry the pom is a rare breed for many reasons, but it's mostly because it's extremely difficult to find a dog in Hirajiro, if impossible in the first place. He's just trotting in the school hallway, but he has a white sheet over him. He has an omamori on him like a nametag collar, but that's all he has. Not like anyone can see his name on that thing anyway.
Anyway, for a dog so small, he sure is loud. He yaps because because he can't get out of this blasted white sheet and tumbles under it. ]

[Happy birthday Rio, have a pom.
She hasn't done much since dealing with Terry's Shadow; as far as she's concerned, she did more than her fair share of the work. If others want to fight the Daitengu, they're free to it. But it is admittedly pretty boring around the school these days, particularly with less and less people around to pester. And to top it off, today being... well, today especially stinks, because birthdays aren't great when each one is another tick closer to the deadline, even if technically speaking a whole year hasn't actually passed since she turned seventeen.
What a mess.
But anyway, there being a dog gives her something to do at least, even if she reacts as her timid girl persona:]
E-ehh, is that a ghost?!

[ Terry yaps as he tumbles over. It's just a white casserole now, rolling on the floor...
Big cloths are tiny pom's biggest weakness. Help him, Rio. ]

[ Ah, yes. That helps him out a whole lot. Once Terry sees an opening, he waddles out of the cloth. Finally!! He looks up and--oh! It's Rio!! He looks happy to see her too and his tail wags happily and yaps.
Rio!! It's been 40k years, but not here, so you're not insane! That's great!! ]

[ Rio... please... Terry does that thing where he stands on his hind legs and puts his front paws together and moves them up and down. Rio!! It's meeee!!! Also, he didn't think she'd be scared of dogs... he thinks he looks pretty harmless too. ]
[ Terry sits back down and shakes his head no. Then he tilts his head to copy Rio. ]
[ Then he nods and yaps because he's so glad Rio noticed. He even circles around twice too. ]
[ I AM!! MY OWN OWNER!!!
But for simplicity's sake, he shakes his head no. The rust-colored omamori swings into view from his black fur. ]

[An omamori? What a weird color, though.
It then strikes her that there's a cinnamon scent nice and strong around this dog, and, if he'll let her, she'll reach out to touch the tag. Does it feel like the texture of dried blood, or even smell like it if she brings her fingers to her nose again after?]

[ Terry absolutely lets Rio touch the omamori. She'll definitely be able to tell that it's dried blood. However, it's been days since it's been dried onto it and being in close proximity smells more like dog and cinnamon. It's as if someone dunked the omamori in paint. Nothing else can be shown on it.
Terry always smelled like cinnamon except when he was in the Dungeon aka his personal hell. ]

[ To answer Rio's question, Terry lets out a tiny puppy howl, summoning Vassago behind him. Unfortunately, the hallway is too small so Vassago is just ?!?! and dismisses himself. ]
[ Girl... all you ever smell is like gunpowder. He's had enough of that. Terry sneezes into the open air as if to convey that after sniffing and yaps. ]
Don't sneeze on me!
[Gross! But then she perks up, overhearing footsteps. Someone's coming...
It's not time for any goat men, but it's still troublesome to try to have a serious conversation with a dog while someone else is around, so she's just going to wordlessly scoop up Terry and powerwalk them to one of the classrooms. Oddly, this one seems to have various fabrics inside - rescued costumes from the drama department?]

[ Yup. There even seems to be doll clothes too, whenever they need to use the doll as a prop as a baby or something. Perfect size...
Terry doesn't mind being carried, but is quiet the entire time. ]

Terry doesn't like the sound of that... he squirms in Rio's hold, but doesn't say anything.
One fear. ]

This is a good way to pass the time ♪
[And with that, she'll begin picking up some of the doll clothes. There's an especially poofy dress among them.]
I think this one will suit you well! It's a nice, bright color compared to your fur...
[And there's even velcro in the back to make it easy to put on! She's gonna try to shift Terry to just one arm so she can start un-velcroing the clothes to put on him.]

[ This is where Terry starts really squirming now. He's trying to get out of Rio's hold, but he's still a baby and doesn't want to use demigod strength on the poor girl. HE DOESN'T WANT TO WEAR DRESSES, EVEN AS A DOG!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ]
