Ears perking at the detected sounds of something rapidly approaching, Shiro's eyes immediately shifted with a blink into their glowing ice-blue color. Black stripes marking and accenting his body as he jumped to his feet. Much to his surprise, what came their way was something far less intimidating and scary. Eyes focusing in on the tiny thing scrabbling their way, Shiro could only watch with astonishment as the speedy thing launched itself at him and even [i]spoke[/i] to them. As the thing crawled its way up his clothing, finally resting atop his head, Shiro scooped it up into his gloved hands and held it out in front of him. Stars sparkled and exploded in his vision as Shiro's face immediately brightened and any nervous tension within him melted away at the sight of the Ferret.

[b]"Hey, little guy! Well, aren't you just the cutest thing!"[/b] Shiro could see nothing ugly about the creature and endearingly hugged it to his chest before holding it out in front of himself again. Blinking, he made a curious expression as he tilted his head. [b]"Wait, did you just talk?"[/b] Thinking back, he had already encountered 'Porridge' who displayed a Semblance that caused vegetative growth. Shiro immediately deduced that this creature must have some sort of Telepathic Semblance, allowing it to 'speak'. Looking at the furry creature in his hands, he smiled and asked for its name. [b]"Do you have a name little guy? If not, I'm gonna call you Scoot. Yeah, Scoot! You are the scootiest scoot that every scooted. The best [url=http://files.gamebanana.com/img/ico/sprays/5547970feb9bb.png]Scoot![/url]"[/b] Shiro grinned.

His admiration for the rodent ended shortly thereafter, as his ears picked up a far more foreboding cacophonous racket from deeper within the Shelter. Placing 'Scoot' atop his head, as Shiro so aptly named him, he raised a gloved hand and smartly slapped his own face. The stinging pain of his self-abuse breaking him out of his gloomy slump, he shook his head and clenched his fist. Ready and raring to go again. Sadly, he would have to wait to become acquainted with the other two Faunus girls. [b]"Sorry, but it looks like I'm gonna have to get a move on. Do you two know who is in charge of this place and where he or she may be? I have to find them and let them know what's going on to stop all this before it gets too out of hand. Before it gets too late."[/b]
