Riko had every right to be worried, especially since he was in fights for profit. It meant he had an extremely high chance of not coming home alive if at all. Though to save himself he made sure people knew he was still "owned" - it meant his master didn't want him dead so no one tried to kill him. He had no owner anymore, but he was glad to have a friend. Alecs missed his father. Sure Alecs cared but even so, if Riko loved him- he'd love his friend back equally. After all- Riko was the first person to really give a shoot about him. Yawning he nodded his head, "Yeah... I'm tired." his head bobbed as he let go and took hold of his friend's hand, "If my animal was bigger I'd give you a ride on my back." he yawned and then heaved himself up onto the bank before standing up stretching. Alecs' back was facing Riko as he transformed into the dingo and shook out his fur. He turned and sat on his haunches, wagging his tail. He was curious - was it wrong for an older male Neko to sleep with his best friend who was younger and male?
