Kuai felt like something was following him. Given that he was in a random American town in the middle of nowhere, that was alarming. He glanced over his shoulder, trying to see if he could figure out where the person was following. There was movement low to the ground and he twisted around suddenly to try and see what it was.
He was met with a dachshund looking up at him, tail wagging when the pup realised he had noticed her.
“Oh,” he murmured, staring at the small dog in front of him. He knelt down towards the dog, who upon seeing this bounded towards him. “Hello, sweetheart, where's your owner?”
“She doesn't have one,” a voice suddenly spoke, Kuai glanced up to see a man working the nearby café, who had come out to clean up the outside tables. “Some guys dumped her a few weeks ago.” The man started scratching his head. “We've seen her around, but, you're the first person she's gotten anywhere close to.”
Kuai hummed at that, as the dachshund licked his fingers. She wasn't the first animal to take a liking to him, but she was the first that didn't already have a loving home. He gently went to pick her up, holding her in front of his face.
“No place to call home, hm?” He questioned as if the dog could answer him. She attempted to wiggle closer to lick his face. “I know what that's like.” That time, after he'd been brought back to life and before he became grandmaster, when he had no where to go. He sighed. “Well I suppose we can't have that, now can we?”
She barked slightly, as he pulled her closer to his chest with one arm, and used the other to fiddle in the pocket. He brought out his phone, he'd need help, both with finding and paying for a vet to check her health, and to find a way to bring her home with him to China.
She also needs a name, he thought as he found Johnny's contact in his phone, knowing the man was a dog lover and would absolutely drop everything to help one out. In that moment, Kuai remembered Johnny once having referred to the breed as wiener dogs, and a name sparked in Kuai's head.
“How does the name Weena sound to you?” He asked, finally clicking Johnny's name and bringing the phone to his ear. The dog licked Kuai's cheek, and he choice to interoperate that as her approving of the name. He giggled, “Weena it is then.”
The phone clicked as the rather confused sounding voice of Johnny came through, “Hello?”
“Hello Johnny, I need a favour...”
