Kuroo practically beams at Nami as she reassures him that she's happy to have found him. Truthfully, it had been awhile since he had made a friend that similar in ways to him. Someone who was positive and thoroughly enjoyed fishing?! It was incredible! He even lets out another laugh, a small shake of his head. "No one as dedicated as us, but I believe Askell enjoys fishing from time to time," Kuroo thinks on it for a moment before suddenly Nami is disappearing behind the large oak tree. The trunk is massive enough that she completely disappears. Taking a step back, he leans slightly to try and see her when she peeks her out from around its side.

He laughs again, grinning back at Nami. "The light in the dark, I like that," Kuroo comments, his tail wagging a few times. In the next moment, he leaps to the side and around the trunk of the tree toward Nami. With his next leaping step, he aims to nudge her shoulder with his nose. Pulling away quickly, he grins and runs a few steps away. "Tag, you're it," Kuroo winks, his lips pulled up wide with a cheeky smile before he is taking off into the oak forest.
