Blinded by Love

Woof and New Friend!

Thoma walks through the town heading towards the Komore Teahouse.

Feeling this uneasy as before he takes a breath crossing his arms placing both his hands on each other arms.

"It just your imagination..."

"Calm down..."

Slowly releasing his hands he steps to the Komore Teahouse, opening the door and immediately falling to the ground.

"AH!"

Opening his eyes he looks down to see Taroumaru on his chest, hearing a bark Thoma chuckles.

"Haha! Hey, did you miss me?"

Hearing another bark to sudden licks, Thoma chuckles softly, "Alright! Haha! I'll take that as a yes! Now quit it, it tickles!"

Taroumaru moves away as Thoma sits up, "You really know how to make my day!" He says petting Taroumaru on the head.

Taroumaru barks then let's Thoma stand, hoping around Thoma as he walks to the counter and he watches Taroumaru jump up on to one of the stools and then the counter itself.

"Silly boy! I'm guessing, I'm the first one here?"

Taroumaru barks, sitting down wagging his small tail, Thoma smiles then looks down.

"At least that uneasy feeling is gone for now..."

Hearing a bark, Thoma blinks and shakes his head, "Don't worry boy, I'm fine just a lot on my mind!" he says reassuring Taroumaru and petting him.

Taroumaru gently licks Thoma's hand and then lays down shutting his eyes.

Thoma smiles softly then looks aside, "A lot on my mind huh..."

•••

Hearing a door open Thoma turns and Taroumaru lifts his head up they both see Ayaka walk up to them.

"Hello Taroumaru! Who's a good boy!" She says petting Taroumaru, small barks in response as Thoma smiles.

"You're late!" Thoma states and Ayaka turns to him.

"Sorry, I had to finish something's before I could come!" She smiles.

Thoma sighs then looks aside, "Well at least you weren't the last one to come, Traveler is also late!"

Ayaka chuckles softly, "Well that understandable!"

Thoma nods and immediately hears a bark, they both turn their attention to Taroumaru who's wiggling around.

Thoma chuckles slightly then looks down, "Lady Ayaka can I ask you something?"

Ayaka turns her head to him and nods, "Of course anything!"

Thoma hesitate to speak, but let's out a sigh, "I've been feeling uneasy as of late...and I don't know why?"

Ayaka looks at him with concern, placing a hand on his, "Thoma..."

Thoma looks over at her, "I just don't feel welcomed in town..." he looks aside, "Tho that's nothing new...but this feeling isn't like I usually feel when people hate me..."

Ayaka looks down, "I sorta can understand... People tend to be nice to me and some avoid me...but that's just what it is you can deal with it or make a change!"

Thoma glance over at her then smiles slightly, "Thanks for the advice... I'll take it to heart!"

Ayaka smiles back, letting go of Thoma's hand once she did they both hear a knock.

Turning their heads they both smile at the sight of Aether and Paimon.

Taroumaru growls and Thoma places a hand on him, "It's alright they're a friend!" Taroumaru looks over at him then barks.

Aether walks over and smiles softly at Taroumaru and Taroumaru looks at Aether and jumps at him, wagging his tail as they hit the ground.

"EEP!"

Thoma and Ayaka chuckle as Paimon blinks then huffs, "HEY! PAIMON WANT TO BE PUPPY LOVED TOO!"

Taroumaru turns to Paimon and barks then paws Aether chest, Paimon floats over and pets Taroumaru.

"Alright! Paimon forgives you!"

Aether smiles awkwardly as he watched the two, Thoma then coughs.

"Alright, Taroumaru off!"

Taroumaru turns then hops off Aether and walks to the side as Ayaka helps Aether up onto his feet.

Ayaka smiles, "I guess Taroumaru likes you now!"

Aether nods they both let go and Ayaka then leads them to a empty room as Taroumaru hops onto the counter yet again.

"So do we have a plan!?" Paimon immediately claims and Ayaka looks away to Thoma and he looks up.

"Um no..."

Paimon blink, "Then what are we going to do!?"

Ayaka coughs turning back, "Well there's this someone that can help us!" She smiles.

"You may be able to find her..."

•••

"Psst!"

Aether turns to the sound of someone, Paimon notices a minute after Aether pulls her by her neck thing.

"Over here!"

Aether turns over to see a young girl with blonde wild hair in a pony tail.
