Wait, the whole animal shelter stuff was his idea?

[Huh? Excuse him if he looks a bit taken aback. Dante crossed paths with Izo a few times and the wannabe samurai comes across as a hard-hitting bruiser most of the time. The guy damn sure knows how to swing a bat, that's for sure but who would've guessed he has a soft spot for animals? For some reason, Dante can't help but find it a bit adorable.]

I'll be sure to ask him. I'm not about to let Izo have little Taro all to himself.

[He kinda loves this pup already. Corgis are the best!]

Have you thought about adopting a few pups, Em---I mean, Emily?

[Dante was this close from giving her a new nickname. He tends to do that with everyone.]
