He didn't give thoughts to the woman not turning in his direction. Perhaps one of the shy type. Either way, that wouldn't be an issue for him.

She folded her arms, unfazed by the animal beside her as she worked. Natori was simply in the area and nothing more. Seemingly.

"I just happened to be passing by, that's all."

"So long as you are not here to cause me issue, then I suppose Harold and I have no cause to stop you, now do we Harold?" The dog let out a little woof of agreement that sounded...off. Like it was an imitation of a woof made with grinding bone on bone. But it did sound like a woof, so...

"Oh yes, let's annoy the woman who plays with bones for a living, I'm sure that will go over quite well, Ven." Even as she said it though, her voice was a huff of indignation.

"Yeah, Its partly a sight thing, why you probably didn't know; with Garmr's powers allowing me to spread mist and vanish into it like a phantom." He took a moment before continuing, hopefully Haru was familiar enough with events in the north that he could leave it with a short explanation.

"I'm sure it's fine," He said to himself, hoping that would calm what concern was building. It won't cause any trouble, looks to be well trained so there was nothing to worry about.

"His name is Harold," she said suddenly, and at hearing his name, the dog sat up on his haunches. "He's my guard dog, and he keeps an eye out so I don't have to. Also a very good scout. Do you have questions about him?"

"Bone shards?" Just the question itself seems to cause enough confusion to create doubt. Her eyebrows crease as her mind tries to untangle what she'd just heard. "Don't necromancers specialize in raising the dead? Is that all you use in your incantations?"

One could argue that any answer this one had to give her could be a lie - an attempt to appease her. Suspicion was not easily cast aside.

That being said, the Shinsengumi officer was not so unreasonable as to not consider she might have been telling the truth.

"I..."

Her pride is too strong to allow her to give full apology, but she does give a small bow of her head.

"If what you say is true, then no - I suppose there's no harm in that. So long as you have no need to add to your supply of human bones. And then..."

It's her turn to give pause as she considers the anger the necromancer's words. Some questions, she'd learned, were best left unanswered. Some mysteries best not delved into.

Indeed, Haru reached down, touching its head, and smiling.

"Let's start over, shall we? This bonehound is not the full skeleton of a living creature. It is a construct, made from the bone shards of other animals I have collected. It is not good for fighting, but as a companion and as a scout? This creature--Harold, his name is--is excellent." Haru's chest puffed out a little, in a kind of odd pride. She stepped towards the other, and extended her hand.
