[ Jion is practically starry-eyed as he approaches Mikuniguro, but he also doesn't let his excitement get the better of him. He makes sure to approach without rushing, looking to Tonbokiri before getting too close.

And when he tentatively extends a hand to pat at Mikuniguro's neck, his hand hovers hesitantly for a moment before making contact. Jion beams as he gives the horse one, two long pats to the neck. Man, what a cool animal. It really is like something out of a movie. ]

Um, like this? Is this okay? Not stressful for him?
