[Having a manticore cub as a familiar is... interesting. It's as playful as a kitten or puppy which is cute, but its play fighting can get dangerous quickly. It so far hasn't tried to swipe with its tail but even just a wrong move with those big paws of it can do a lot of damage.
So Ichiro is always keeping a close eye on it when its around. He has to make sure he doesn't get hurt and that the cub doesn't heckle any other residents...
and their familiars. So it seems.
Because his cub (go. he's named it 'go') is at his side one moment and bounding off towards a young man and his dog(?) in the next.] HEY! Hey, Go, wait! Stop!
[In what is a true display of majesty and grace, Ichiro runs after his familiar, slouching to scoop it up in his arms, and promptly skids and eats shit. But he seems okay aside from some scrapes, and Go squirms to get out of Ichiro's hold but then settles on chewing on his jacket.]
[ Multiple things happen in succession. First, he notices Fuyu tense by his side, a rare display of aggression as he feels his charge may be in danger. Then there's the creature, unlike anything he's encountered before, heading right in his direction.
And finally, there's Ichiro eating shit. Tsumugi winces as he hits the ground, and though he seems okay, he wastes no time going over to check on him anyway. ]
Excuse me... are you alright? [ He offers a hand to the stranger. (fuyu, meanwhile, is not breaking eye contact with go. Protecc.) ]
[Go isn't the easiest to hold onto what with its little baby wings, tail and just the sheer strength of it. So Ichiro is relieved that the thing stills for its staring match with Fuyu (though his jacket is still in its mouth. sigh). It makes righting himself and accepting the stranger's hand much easier.]
I'm fine - sorry about that. [And alright fine, if Go isn't going to let go of his jacket then Ichiro's going to take advantage of that. He maneuvers his jacket off and wraps his little monster into a burrito.] I saw it going right for you and - well, I guess that doesn't really matter. Again, sorry for the trouble.
[ Tsumugi is quick to shake his head and offer reassurances. ] Oh, no, it was no trouble! I'm just glad you're not hurt.
[ Though, now that he's looking closer... before he can think to stop himself, he reaches up to touch Ichiro's cheek - or, specifically, to brush some dirt off it. ] But are you sure you're okay?
