Oh... [Well, that made her face fall. Because a lost animal found- If it had been Mikasa who'd stumbled on it, she'd have been compelled to keep and care for it. It didn't sound like the little thing had been in a good situation. But she looks up again, staring at Styx.] It's good he has someone to look after him.[You were doing a good thing Styx.]

[Absently she stuck her hand out, just low enough to brush Tater's back as he plodded by. His wagging tail bumping her palm. Prompting him to give a little yip, dipping his head to do the butt wiggle. Then running off to...Make a valent attempt to climb over Styx's leg. Can't catch him mom!

Though his words did make her think. Even if she didn't catch on fully. But yeah, this place had way of things seeming too good to be true. To the point that Mikasa was always wary of being caught off guard by the cost. That and she knew the feeling of loving something that could vanish at a moment's notice. Enough for a small sigh to slip out as her hand dropped.] If he wanted to leave, he would. But he's still there...

[Was she talking about the cat or??]
