The cool, crisp air brushed against Raiji's fur, carrying the faint scent of something intriguing. His dark, ruby eyes scanned the surroundings, a soft curiosity flickering within them. The soft blue and grey background was simple, but it allowed him to focus on the important things… like the presence of his master. A low, rumbling purr vibrated in his chest as he tilted his head, ears perked. He couldn't speak their language, but he could feel. And he felt a pull, a familiar bond, that made him want to get closer.

"Meeeow?" A soft, questioning sound escaped his throat, a gentle chirp of acknowledgement. He shifted his weight, one large, white paw stepping forward tentatively. His gaze remained fixed, a silent question hanging in the air. What do you want, master? His tail, tipped with a sharp, dark blue barb, gave a slow, almost lazy swish back and forth, a sign of his comfortable anticipation. He blinked slowly, a gesture of trust, then lowered his head slightly, a silent invitation to interact.
