Isuma perked up immediately at Sugar's cheery response, bouncing a little in place as the dragonet approached at a bound. There was the distinct possibility of a tussle in the near future, and she quivered with excitement as her little muscles tensed and prepared to pounce on her swiftly-nearing friend.
Unfortunately for her, Sugar stopped short, and Isuma's pounce landed her flat on her tummy in the snow at the dragon's feet. Peeping curiously, she looked up at her trilling friend and tried to mimic her stance, though her stockier body and shorter neck didn't let her stand nearly as tall. Sugar's attempted dash had the gryphon running a few bounds as well, though she stopped as the dragon was captured, turning to look behind her curiously. Ronin's question was a bit over her head, but she tilted back to look up at him with confident innocence.
Rrreep? she responded - though it was probably a request for the return of her playmate rather than a proper answer.
It was perhaps for the best that the white fox came trotting back before too much longer, jaws closed carefully and a little awkwardly around something. A joyful Isuma gamboled around his feet until he sat down, looking up at Ronin with mischievous blue eyes. He nodded towards Sugar, then flicked an ear at the human's gloved hand, waiting to see what the man would do.
