Jun did the only thing that really came to mind as he approached the three, placing his hand on the hound girl's head and patting her in what he hoped was a soothing gesture.  "Now, now; there's not need to cry – Renoa-chan, was it?"  Pulling handkerchief from his pocket, he proffered it to the girl, trying his best to smile benignly and help the matter along.  "There's no need for tears, I'm sure of that."<br/><br/>He turned to face Riku without stopping his patting of the girl's head; "Is every okay Riku-san?  I hope it's nothing serious."
