He doesn't remember that he doesn't have a heart. He doesn't remember he's not supposed to feel anything. So when Saïx noticed the spirit of a dog following him around, there was an instantaneous feeling of warmth. Of happiness. He smiled and bent down to get a better look at the barking dog. He'd always had a soft spot for dogs - not that he was aware of that fact now. Though, he felt it was safe to assume that he might have always liked them, especially as its insistent barking would probably annoy most people.
"Here boy," he said, his voice softer and kinder than anyone who knew him in his past life had likely ever witnessed. Unless, of course, they'd been present when he interacted with a dog or known him as Isa. As the spirit dog closed the space between them, Saïx reached out and started petting it.
This seemed to do nothing to calm the dog. It continued barking and began nudging his hand, which quickly turned into insistent shoving. "Did you lose your master?" he asked. Not that he expected to get a clear answer out of it, or for someone to be standing mere feet away watching his interaction with the spirit pup.
