He loved making deliveries like this. With the books secure in the bag tied to his harness he could run as fast as he wanted without worrying about damaging them. It was not long before he arrived at the school, giving a soft bark before lightly scratching the door. Any harder and he would get in trouble for leaving marks again.

His ears flicked up when he heard the door open. This scent did not belong to Dewa or Kosuke, so he got up and walked around the shelf to check it out. Oh, it was a little girl... He walked over and sat in front of her, his head at about the same level if not maybe a little higher than hers. Kosuke and Dewa were out, but if she wasn't afraid of him he would show her where the kid's books were.

He pounced as soon as the other walked through the door, shifting mid-jump so he could wrap the arms of his slighter human frame around one of his two most important people. "Kosuke!" A quick glance to the back where Dewa was. "Kosuke's back!" He shoved his head up under his chin, nuzzling against him, heedless of the fact that he was currently not clothed.

He sat up, ears flicking forwards as he tilted his head curiously. This guy smelled of bird and cat along with human and something he had never smelled before, something kind of spicy layered on something cold. Interesting... Still, he was a stranger approaching Tales to Tell, so he barked to alert Kosuke and Dewa to this new customer.

This looked like Yata, and he smelled close to Yata. The base scent was similar and he also had the smell of baked goods clinging to him, though he smelled more of sugar than he should. His clothes were weird too. Whatever, maybe he would still have a treat for him? Eric stood and made his way over to bump the other's hip with his head.

A person walking down the street in front of Tales to Tell, the bookstore he lived and worked at, was not normal at this time of night. It was someone he didn't know... They may just be a traveler looking for an inn, but he wasn't going to risk his humans' shop for that. He stood and gave a low growl at the approaching stranger, baring his teeth as his fur stood on end. No one was touching this shop.

He sniffed then did the dog version of a frown as he caught an odd scent. What...? Cat! He shot up, fur standing on end as he looked around. Where is it? Can't pinpoint the scent...
