The wolf’s words were… well, certainly a plot twist. He’d suspected that Louis kept odd friends - the deer had been, after all, living in a lion’s den of all places - but for some reason he’d never quite considered that the wolf who’d very thoroughly beaten the shit out of him and all his friends might be among them.
Granted, the fact that Louis had shown up that same night perhaps should have tipped him off.
Slowly, Ibuki opened the door a crack, thyough he kept the chain latched in case it was a trick - canines weren’t known for their wiles, but he wasn’t the fighter he used to be, and he could never be too careful. “… how do you know Louis-San?” he asked through the crack in the door, his voice closer to a growl than he intended; it had a habit of dropping into a low register these days. “Sorry for the cold reception - I’m… jumpy after we last met.” The initial response - I’m here for you - was still sending a tingle of anxiety down his spine, but Ibuki just told that to shut up and let the adults (er, adult) talk. He considered his options for a moment, and then decided that if the kid wanted to get in he could just break the door down anyways and undid the chain to open the door. Ibuki was dressed in a cheap robe and large, poofy slippers, leaning on a cane and with his mane still a mess from when he woke up; the only thing “neat” about his appearance was his glasses, which perched professionally upon the bridge of his nose. Compared to the last time Legosi had seen him, he looked like he’d aged decades; spots of white cut through the gold of his face, and his disheveled mane bore streaks of gray. “Come on in,” he sighed, and began hobbling over to the kitchenette, “I’ll put on some tea.”
It’d be best to leave especially after that whole catastrophe with the door and... before. Pulling on his backpack’s straps to correct them on his shoulders Legoshi turned to take his leave. But his ears would perk up at the sound of a latch opening, and a chain going taut as his attention turned back to the lion peeking through the crack. ❛ Well, I --- oh, no, no it’s okay really. I should’ve brought a member of the Shishigumi with me to ease your concern. ❜
Upon providing an apologetic bow he stared at the door being unlatched and open. There was a brief moment where he could take the lion’s full appearance in; relaxed came to mind albeit tired. Did he wake him from his sleep? Ugh, Ibuki must find him so rude! Perhaps the notion was just his anxiety speaking, nevertheless, Legoshi felt as if he’d truly intruded on a man’s good rest. With another bow he entered the home as the other made their way further into the flat. He closed the door but decided that he leave the latch alone for now, turning to face the kitchenette as he slipped off his shoes and continued to stand at the entrance.
❛ Thank you... I hope I didn’t disturb you too much. ❜ the young wolf began, ❛ Sorry for scaring you. ❜
