video.
[ The camera comes on to a man kneeling next to a dog in a park, holding the communicator at a selfie angle. The man looks Japanese, with chin length black hair and a thin beard, wearing casual, cheap clothes. The dog looks like a shiba inu, with grey markings breaking up the black fur on his face, like a malamute. He'swearing a green neckerchief and by all appearances is a very good boy.
So how has anyone dared to imply otherwise? ]
I've only been here for a few days, so I'm still getting used to how things are here. It's little things, for the most part. Maybe I was just never responsible for a dog before, or that some dogs just don't seem like the type to need someone to be responsible for them. [ But mostly because it was someone else's responsibility, probably. His fiancee's, most likely. ]
Did you know that dogs aren't supposed to be out in the city without a leash? I don't know if that's just De Chima or all of this...America. [ That's the name, right? He gives the dog a good rub behind the ears. ] But it's a little counter-intuitive to tie down a messenger like that. Umbra here's a free roamer, he goes where he needs to, through whatever blockade is in his path. A leash couldn't stop him even if I wanted it to.
[ He smiles and rises to his feet, while Umbra perks up at suddenly being left out of the shot. ] I should introduce myself. I'm Noctis, and--
[ Umbra lets out a few barks from offscreen, which gives Noctis a startle. He looks down at the dog in surprise. ] What the hell?
[ The camera swings off him as his hand drops, then goes black. ]

[ Which isn't really weird, but understanding him is. ]

[ He's jealous. He's so jealous. Why does everyone else get all the cool powers? ]
What's he saying?

[ She knows the animals in this world aren't as advanced as Pokemon, but mandatory leashes? Sounds fake to Sabrina. ]
As long as he's smart enough not to go running off, I don't see why you'd need one.
video;
But like I said, he's a messenger. Running off is pretty much his job.
no subject
[ You poor thing. She's a psychic who trains psychic pokemon, so as far as she's concerned, that's the norm. ]
Does he have any other abilities? Or is he like the dogs from this world?

Besides, I'm not sure he's even really a dog.

Are you alright...? Did, um, Umbra have a problem? He doesn't bite, does he?
video;
[ By talking. Or, at least, what Noctis heard as talking. ]
video;
[ Or at least, that's what Hajime can guess. Not that he can speak dog. ]
Most parks have leash laws, so... it can't be helped, even if he wants to be free. I haven't volunteered at De Chima's park though, so I can't know for sure. Sorry, Mr. Noctis. Oh, but welcome!

If he could talk, wouldn't he be able to tell them himself?
[ Jokes aside, Alfie raises a good point that's worth thinking more about. ] I heard about the protests, but I'm afraid they happened before I came here. Can you tell me a little more about them?

Welcome to De Chima, Noctis. You too, Umbra. Are you two okay?
[Since he just yelled out and the screen dramatically cut to black.]

[ If no one else heard the dog talk, maybe he didn't either? ]

What an adorable dog! He's so majestic looking...
[ Where are her manners? ]
My apologies. Welcome to America, Noctis! My name is Haru.
video
But yeah, he's been a good friend to me since I was a kid. I guess there's something majestic about that.
[ "Majestic" is kind of a weird word when you're royalty. ]
