The place was on the outskirts of the wind district at noon. After Valeska recommended the option, Chloro and I decided to go on a small-scale mission to get to know each other better.
Our current objective was locating a missing animal lost by their owners a couple days prior, a Doberman dog to be precise, so we gave the confirmation and after a brief meeting with the owner, we departed in search of the dog.
The owner didn’t seem very helpful at all, we asked about places the dog may frequent, or that he liked so we could start searching over there, but he responded with evasiveness. Almost as if he didn’t fucking know his own pet or something, even when he had placed a non-insignificant reward for it. Whatever the case, it was unlikely that he was around those places anywhere least they would have found him already or maybe even the dog himself would have known how to return.
But at least that would be a place to start, right about now we had basically nothing to work as a starting point. Not a single clue as to where this doggo could be... And it was still winter, so a part of me worried that the short-haired dog could be slowly freezing with each passing day, so the situation was kinda critical.
-So... Any idea of where to start Chloro? Anything that could help?- I asked the mute girl beside me as I checked a physical map of the streets of mistral, thinking what were the most likely places where a dog could be spending his time.
He needed some source of food and water and shelter. But a dog could easily provide himself with those things in a pinch, so it was a broad spectrum of possibilities.
If anything we could ask around if someone had seen him. I knew some people could be reluctant to be questioned by a faunus, but Chloro could easily pass as human, and although I was unarmed and wearing civilian clothes, I still had my student ID with me in case I needed to pressure someone into complying.
Which sounded kinda... Like something I preferred not to do if I could help it. So I also carried my uniform Jacket that I could throw over my clothes if I needed some more passive, visible sign of authority. While even when some people made a living out of selling lookalikes and falsifications of Haven uniforms, people who bought those often didn’t look the part of a student even when fully clothed.
I did since I kinda was the real deal and all those hours in the gym got you something to show off even when you were a small gremlin as I was. So no worries there.
-I bought some dog food just in case, have it in my bag... Do you think we should do something like print missing posters around in case someone saw something?- I wondered out loud, really hoping Chloro had more tracking experience than me since I was kinda winging it at that point.
