For the most part Kuroki was fine with playing along, turning up to sermons and pretending to listen. He didn't mind them that much at first, new things were always fun and exciting to the little pup, but now that he'd grown some and seen some darker corners of the world he couldn't say he was all that interested. Brief flickers of his incoming rebellious phase shone in his eyes as he made his way to the Shrine, wondering whether he ought to just skip this part and so something all together different. Worthy of his time. But he supposed he didn't hate his aunt, he saw a lot of his Father's colder, more aloof mannerisms in her and idly wondered if that's why they didn't get along much. That it was like looking into a mirror.
Noticing Iki already on the scene, Kuroki let out a laid back chuff in greeting. She was all pretty and proper as usual, and was already well into losing the tubby pup fat that used to cling to all of their forms. She was elegant and graceful, and somehow even made sitting look statuesque. Kuroki on the other paw flopped down beside her, his gangly limbs folding as his oversized paws splaying out on the flooring. His dark gaze roamed around the temple for a second as the scent of bamboo filled his nose, his aunt kept things neat and tidy and was no doubt a picky about the details. Not so much like Kuroki then.
"Sup. What we learning today?" He finally said, picking a bit of dirt out from underneath one of his front talons.
