There's weird and then there's WEIRD.

There's a dog in the Nexus.

It's small, a breed of toy poodle by the looks of it, and is nosing around various garbage bins, sometimes overturning them to paw through the contents. It looks pretty lean and is probably hungry!

One might be tempted to approach it and check it for tags or offer some scraps. Right up until it turns around and you get a look at its face. Its clearly human, likely middle-aged man's face. Y I K E S. It's even wearing glasses.

Still, the thing acts as skittish and furtive as any stray dog would. And there's no denying that it's clearly malnourished, going on how thin it looks. After another bin is tipped over and yields no edibles, it looks towards the forum with trepidation. He won't compromise his presumed safety of staying near an alleyway in the event he needs a quick escape, but asks:

"Does anyone have any food?"

C'taqa smiles a bit. "You're welcome."

Pause. "I'm not a...whatever that is. I'm a Miqo'te. From Eorzea."

[jinmenken]

"Mickoteh? Huh. Never heard of that one before." He's certain this guy is still a yokai; maybe just one from a different continent! Maybe this Eorzea is somewhere in South America?

"Do you normally just carry bowls of soup around and give them out to strays?" God, it's hard to be polite. This is why you have no friends, Manjimutt.

Thankfully, C'taqa didn't find that rude. He actually considers it a fairly good, if odd question.

"I make...a lot of food." He'll just. Put it that way. If Manjimutt had been around for the elaborate spread he'd put on a while back, that would also probably make more sense. "I'm just glad it's going to good use."

[jinmenken]

"I dunno if I count as 'good use' but...thanks anyway." He picks up the bowl in his teeth and trots closer to drop it at C'taqa's feet. Just returning what belongs to him. He even wags his tail about twice.

[kitty_of_light]

"It is good use. Feeding someone is never bad use."

C'taqa smiles, and even resists the urge to pat Manjimutt, as it'd probably scare him. He just retrieves the bowl and puts it away. "Don't worry about it, alright? I like helping out."
