Katsu wasn't going to waste much more of his time arguing with Siku, hardly in the mood for it right now. That aside, getting to see Koinu had managed as always to brighten his spirits, a wide smile spreading across the thief's face as he caught his pet and lifted it up. No one could stay upset or angry when holding this little creature, it was just too darn adorable and friendly for that. Chuckling as his nose was licked he hugged the Sabre Fox to his chest, scratching behind one of his pet's ears as they ascended the staircase. Koinu would of course be one of the few things he'd be taking along with them, he would never dream of leaving behind his furry companion. They had traveled all the way from the Fire Nation together, and Katsu would be damned if this mess was what separated them. The others here could just as well go back to their homes, if he only had Koinu at his side then he'd be perfectly content.

Raising an eyebrow in surprise hearing Siku gushing over his pet, Katsu looked back at the trio with him and smiled slightly, surprised to find the Water Bender actually had a soul. "I would guess you never did see anything like him, he's from the Fire Nation," the Avatar pointed out, looking back at his pet and rubbing his nose to Koinu's, "I brought him from home with me, he's one of the few things I have from there. He's a good boy, always waiting for me to come back home whenever I go out." In a way, Koinu was his absolute closest friend in this world, closer than any of his fellow thieves or any of the three here with him.

"You... Want to hold him?" Katsu asked, furrowing his brow as he looked at Siku confused. Where the heck had this side of her come from then? Looking at Siku as she began to blush he looked down at Koinu, his own cheeks heating up a bit as he debated the request. Well, he couldn't see any harm in allowing it, and goodness knows it was just easier to give her what she wanted rather than deny her and listen to her later. Closing his eyes and letting out a silent sigh he nodded his head, offering over his pet with a small smile. "Sure... Just be gentle? And don't tug on his ears or tail, he doesn't like that." Feeling slightly nervous having handed over his companion, Katsu turned to Asha when she asked about grabbing things, not having really thought about it too much.

"Well... I want to bring one of Koinu's toys for him to play with, and probably a change of clothes or two. Plus there's a few personal things I want to grab, which means I've gotta find my bag." There was a worn backpack that Katsu had stored his smaller items in when he'd initially left home, and with luck it was still holding up well enough to be used again. Smiling to himself he went down the hallway to the final room on the left, reaching into his shirt and pulling out a key on a small string before using it to unlock his room, pushing the door open for the others. It wasn't a very flashy room, with just a bed, dresser, bookshelf with various items strewn across it and a closet with a sealed door. 

Koinu squirmed a little bit as he was handed away to a stranger, making a soft whimpering noise as he tried to remain in Katsu's arms. When it became obvious he was being handed off, the young Sabre Fox turned to the new person holding him, a little wary considering he'd never met them before. Glancing up he got onto his hind legs, placing his front paws on Siku's chest to stabilize himself before sniffing at her curiously. Her scent was a bit... Noxious, almost like a toilet, yet there were parts of her that were nice too. What an odd clash of scents, had she not washed in a while? Tilting his head to the side curiously, Koinu looked up into Siku's eyes before giving a playful help, beginning to lick at her cheek to try and help wash her off. If she was going to be around his master then she had to smell nice, not like a potty!
