Donovan accepted the tunic. [color=orangered]"This will do,"[/color] he told her. [color=orangered]"And don't worry."[/color] That much he felt he could promise. He couldn't explain why, but he had a good feeling about how things were going to turn out. Everyone might not be happy but he expected them to be fine. Of course, expectations didn't really mean all that much. Still, he intended to do his part to reach a proper compromise for the involved parties.

Leaving the house, Donovan reunited with Torch who jumped onto his feet with excitement. [color=orangered]"Here you go, boy."[/color] Donovan knelt down to present the tunic to Torch so he could pick up its scent. The Magma Dog opened his mouth to snatch it. Thankfully, Donovan was able to yank it back in time before Torch could devour it. [color=orangered]"No that's not food."[/color] Once their misunderstanding was resolved, Donovan gave the tunic back to Torch for him to smell.

Torch sniffed the tunic and picked up a scent in no time. Turning, he took off from the house presumably in the direction that the scent led him. The hardest part of being a monster tamer, that Donovan had come to find out, was that he didn't always know what his monster was thinking. Torch was especially unpredictable in his behavior which presented a challenge for Donovan. The Magma Dog was usually friendly, but he still couldn't allow him to do as he pleased. Jogging after him, Donovan gave his best effort to keep up and reached the bush-shaped building well after Torch did, huffing and puffing. 

[color=orangered][i]I've got to get my stamina up.[/i][/color] Soon he'd be crossing mountains and forests on a regular basis so it'd be good for him to increase his fitness. Setting that aside, Donovan returned to his business. [color=orangered][i]I don't know if we're in the right place.[/i][/color] Donovan knocked on the building's door. [color=orangered]"Hello! I'm looking for a missing grandson!"[/color] He announced. [color=orangered]"If you're here can you please talk me to?"[/color] That was all he was going to ask for at that point. He wanted to get the full story first.
