> Calm it further until Nitori comes back
> Think about how Kagua might react if her pet brings back a pet

>The wolf is about as calm as it's going to get now. It's also uselessly dazed, you don't think it could walk straight if it wanted to right now.
>Well, they never told you that you couldn't have a pet... You don't know how the other rabbits would react to a wild animal that would happily dine on a rabbit, though. At the same time, you aren't sure how long you could keep its mind influenced.

>No, this wolf needs to be set free. Let it go, now it has calmed down.
>Unless we want to eat it

>You could probably set it free now, you doubt it would try to do anything other than run after the two of you have been through.

>Ponder the likelihood of a fox wanting to eat a wolf

>You aren't sure what Ran would think of it, and she's the only fox you know. Although it isn't wise to judge animal youkai too strongly on their heritage; you expect Chen probably loves candy a lot more than a typical cat, for instance.

>Ponder the likelihood of a rabbit wanting to eat a wolf

>Meat isn't too popular at Eientei, most rabbits find it an acquired taste. But you don't think anyone would turn their noses up at a stir fry or something. Well...assuming wolf tastes good; you don't have any idea.

>On second thought, let's not bite into something that is prone to biting into creatures of our species for sustenance purposes
> Back off from the wolf, but keep eyes locked and wait for Nitori to return

>You ponder finding out whether it is worth eating, and decide to put off such questions for now.
>A couple minutes pass before you hear snow crunching, and see Nitori returning, carrying a length of rope over her shoulder. "Wow," says Nitori. "You're like a snake charmer or Satori."

> Letting it go would be stupid after all we went through, so we should consider if it would be possible to tame it
> Momiji might help us communicate with the wolf, so we should ask Nitori where Momiji can be found
> Oh, and now that we have the time, examine the wolf closely

>You've heard of people taming wolves, and wonder if you could pull it off.
>"I dunno if Momiji can talk to them or not," says Nitori. "I could go try to find her if you want."
>While waiting ot Nitori to come, you looked over the wolf. You aren't a good judge of lupines at all, but it doesn't seem to be wounded and it's ribs aren't showing, so it seems to be okay. Maybe it's sick, but you'd have no way to tell beyond some obvious sign.

> Leave the poor wolf and get on with whatever we were supposed to be doing. It's not like we even need it to placate Rumia with. We've got the ruined meat for that.

>You wouldn't give that Ruined Roast to Tewi.

>The question in that case would be if Rumia would accept horribly burnt and overcooked meat.

>Of course she would, she's Rumia

>You've had no dealings with Rumia, you wouldn't know what she'd eat. But you've heard stories that she's really weird.

> We might consider at least leaving that wolf in Momiji's care. You never know when you might need a wolf
> If we think we don't have time to look for Momiji, leave it up to Nitori to get the wolf to her

>You don't know if Momiji could do anything with it or not, although Nitori seems to think there's a possibility.
>You have all day, really. You don't have any appointments aside from getting the Yakumo family some fish.

>You make a leash out of the rope and slip it around the wolf's neck. It immediately starts to buck and struggle against it; it clearly does not like this thing and it endangers the calm you created in its mind.
>You suspect if it didn't like being petted, it'll outright hate being carried. It looks kinda heavy, anyways. You don't think you're going to get it to the warehouse like this.

>You do not have this item.

>You hear footsteps approaching. Glancing over, you can see Momoji and Nitori drawing near. "Wow," says Momiji, "I've never seen someone get so close to one like that before."
