Sleeping Dragon Weave a secret

At all times, he keeps a glance on the pup as their path weaves deeper. He seems capable, keenly aware, so it's not that he's finding a need to be overly concerned. For a fledgling attempt out, it is definitely a good start. He doesn't mind that he seems most comfortable with a little distance between them, so it seems. He won't make him stay closer if he'd rather not. Dio trusts he can handle himself. He's content as long as he can keep an eye on him, and meanwhile make sure nothing dangerous sneaks up upon them or they become separated unknowingly.

He isn't the best as gauging his earnest interest, but considering that he's been mindful at trailing him, Dio suspects it tilts towards favorable -- or is wishful in thinking that it might be so. Maybe just subtly. He won't ask for too much and is glad to humor the questions. "Find what disturbed it," he replied, half pausing to scuff his paws into some loose earth after skimming his nose over it and deeming it not needing more than that. "It can be very circumstantial, of course.. and if you can't get a good scent, or it's not fresh enough to be worth tracking down, reinforce the statement as a guardian of the Dragon at least. Work to prevent worse from happening," he detailed. Ensure that their strength won't be questioned, lest they come packing a deathwish.
