Mason smiled a bit at Mina, it was certainly strange to see an expression like that coming from her but he'd accept it. "You too, sis.." He smirked, guessing he'd keep up with the ruse, it wasn't like anyone was catching on anyway. He heard the sound of his armored little companion barking in reaction to his return, smiling a bit as he jumped toward him, Mason welcomed the pup with open arms. "Okay, okay, I missed you too.." He said as the pup licked his face, patting it on the head gently, wincing a bit when the pup's claws dug into his bare chest. "Okay, that's one down...now where's my sword?" He questioned, he glanced over at John. "Oh, hey..." He said, narrowing his eyes a bit at him.
