Shiro nodded as Jack got his gun, anxiously waiting for them to get going. He turned his head towards the male as he spoke and stared at the floor blankly for a few moments. Friends? Did he have friends? He shook his head as he pulled open one of the doors and quickly walked into the gym. He hesitated slightly before running past the two strangers to the other side of the gymnasium. He pushed open the doors on the other side and ran back out into the halls, freezing as he picked up Norene's scent. He quickly approached and embraced her, his excited tail showing his happiness to know she was alright. "...Where's Nikolai?" He asked, turning his head to the side and sniffing the air. He flattened his ears, the scent trail of Nikolai and the creatures giving the answer.
