Rikami wouldn't stop barking. Ayaka bent down and started petting the pup to try and calm him down. "Is someone there Rikami?" She was only met with more barking. As if being stuck in the village when it's so dark she couldn't see was scary enough. She just continued petting him in an attempt to calm him down. In the end, she started looking around, but of course couldn't see a thing. "Whose there?" she finally asked hoping this wouldn't freak Rikami out anymore than he already seemed to be.
