OOC here!
Saying the dog's name was hard. It was almost as long as his name, but it wasn't as easy. In fact, Kohaku's own name was easy. He had to try really hard to say it and it had taken him days just to learn how to say it properly. Kohaku nodded enthusiastically as the orange and black adult laughed and gave him an easier name to say. "Ovi," he shouted happily. The puppy didn't have a lot of control over his voice and shouting was commonplace for the tiny male. Kohaku laughed as the older dog shook himself and sprayed the puppy with water. Kohaku had to shake himself again to get the extra water off, leaning slightly as he tired to spray Ovi in return.
The colorful pup's butt wagged as he got ready to pounce at the other's tail. Kohaku lunged just as Ovi said that he wasn't a cat. A frown crossed Kohaku's face for two reasons. The first and most important, he had missed Ovi's tail. The other reason why he frowned was because Ovi had said he wasn't a dog. Kohaku stood and looked at the tiger with confused eyes. "Not dog... tiger?" So his new companion was a tiger, the pup nodded without actually understanding what Ovi had said.
Because Ovi had admitted that he wasn't a dog, Kohaku's interest in the stranger increased ten fold. What was a tiger or a cat? Could a tiger shift like dogs and wolves could? Why were tigers so big? Kohaku followed after the Ovi enthusiastically, still trying to catch the other's tail. He growled and pounced at the bi-colored tail, but couldn't seem to get a handle on Ovi's long appendage. A loud splash and cry caught the puppy's attention and he stopped trying to grab onto Ovi's tail. There upon the bank was a fish, its silver body undulated at it struggled on the bank.
Kohaku let out a happy yip as he dashed towards the fish. He pawed at it playfully, growling and yipping as it moved. The fish was too big for him to grab, but that didn't stop the tiny male from trying.
