Jade lied to him, it's getting late, his nerves are frayed and considering that this is supposed to be his safe space, he's getting rather annoyed on top of all the other negative emotions he's had to deal with since waking up.

"Hello, Irvin," he mutters. Irvin barks in return.

Bark?

His eyes widen. Shinjirou throws the blanket back, shooting up. It's not a joke, there's an actual dog sitting on the floor, tilting his head at him. With actual dog ears and a dog tail and beautiful loyal eyes. Shinjirou has momentarily forgotten about Jade's presence and all the things bothering him. There's a dog.

He walks over, crouching down in front of him. "Hi, Irvin," he coos, extending his hand so the dog may sniff it. "You're so pretty, look how shiny your fur is. I'm Shinji."
