===Under the Same Shade===
;(If the player uses an attack near the cats and dogs)
:;Hangout Event EndedYour attacks have caused the stray cats and dogs to flee. They probably won't be back for some time...
----
: Thoma: This is a pretty good spot, right?
: Thoma: There are tons of stray cats and dogs here at the outskirts. Every time I come to Komore Teahouse, I bring some food for them.
: Thoma: It just sort of became a tradition over time... at first it was a bit of a chore, but the more time I spent with them, the more I came to enjoy it.
: They seem to like you a lot.
: Thoma: You think so? Well, feed them enough times, and I'm sure you'll win their affection, too.
: Thoma: Not only that, you'll also start to feel that they're your responsibility. Whenever you have any free time, you'll find yourself desperate to come and visit them.
: Thoma: Why don't you try feeding them, ?
: Thoma: I brought some of their favorite food just so you can get into their good graces.
: Okay, I guess I'll try.
: Is it definitely safe?
: Thoma: Don't worry, I've trained them to not be aggressive toward humans.
: Thoma: They'll still run away if they find someone threatening, but I'm pretty sure they'll like you.
: Thoma: You're an approachable person, and they can tell. Animals are very sensitive to these things.

;(Talk to Thoma again)
: Thoma: Just place some food here, and they'll come running.
===Hungry?===
;(Talk to Thoma)
: Thoma: That didn't take long. Look at that, best buds already!
: Thoma: Some of the dogs are even showing their bellies — that's a sign they really trust you.
: Thoma: Well, you'll rarely see Taroumaru roll onto his back, though. He's a ninja dog, so he's always on guard in case an enemy approaches...
: Thoma: Speaking of ninja dogs, I actually saw one the other day on the beach north of Konda Village.
: Why would there be ninja dogs in the wild?
: Thoma: That's the thing. They rarely go off on their own. Usually, they stick with their human ninja partners.
: Thoma: After retiring, most ninja dogs are taken in by their partner. Or sometimes, someone else in the Yashiro Commission will take them in.
: Thoma: It's extremely rare to find them on their own in the wild. So it makes me a little concerned.
: Why don't you adopt it?
: We could adopt it together?
: Thoma: Haha, believe me, I wanted to bring it back to the Yashiro Commission. But it wouldn't let me.
: Thoma: I tried establishing some trust by petting it on the head, but it gave me a nasty bite.
: Thoma: Still, I don't wanna give up on it... Nobody really goes out that way, and I don't know what it would have to eat out there.
: Why don't we go and see it together?
:;(Proceed to Branch 1)
: Perhaps you should give it some time to calm down.
:;(Procees to Branch 2)
===Branch 1===
: Why don't we go and see it together?
: Thoma: That would be great. Even though it's not the most approachable dog, I still want to give it another try.
: Thoma: It seems to sit in the same spot on the beach all day, only moving to take a few paces back when the tide comes in. Last time I saw it, its fur was soaking wet.
: Thoma: Ultimately, bringing it back to the Yashiro Commission is going to be a lot better for it than leaving it sitting out in the elements all day.
: Thoma: Or... we could even bring it back to Komore Teahouse, to make friends with Taroumaru...
: Thoma: Well, let's see if we even get that far.
:;(Proceed to Ninken by the Shore)
===Branch 2===
: Perhaps you should give it some time to calm down.:
: Thoma: That's a good idea.
: Thoma: It was in a very aggressive mood the last time I saw it. I'm worried it might bite you if we tried to approach it, though.
: Thoma: Let's wait until it's in need before going to its aid — that's probably safer.
: Thoma: But back to our other animal friends. Now that the weather's getting colder, I'm wondering whether I should knit some sweaters for these strays.
: Thoma: Problem is, most of them don't actually like being touched, so I can't take their measurements very easily.
: We could photograph them?
: Thoma: That's not a bad idea! We could take photos of them from different angles, then work out their measurements by using other objects in the picture as a reference...
: Thoma: See, you're the real fixer here. Let's give it a try!
