M-21 had to only look in the direction of his jacket for Tao to dash towards it, slipping into his harness and jumping into a side-pocket, waiting for M-21, his tail flicking in anticipation.
M-21 stood up and stretched before shaking himself off. Maybe it was time to go for a run now.
He went over, nuzzling Tao's head before he pulled the jacket on, hearing the magnet click in place.
M-21 flicked an ear when he heard someone come into the living room.
"Oh, are you about to go out, M-21?"
He nodded, turning his head towards Frankenstein.
"Perfect timing then."
Hm? Did Frankenstein want something?
Frankenstein came over, and... M-21 tilted his head at Frankenstein's fist. It didn't seem like it was held in anger, but the fist wasn't tense, more like he was holding something small. What was it?
M-21 sniffed, but he couldn't smell anything. Hnn.
Frankenstein chuckled as he knelt down in front of M-21, M-21 sitting as well. "You noticed, mm?" He opened his palm, to reveal some metal...buttons?
M-21 sniffed at them, but the only thing he could tell was that they were metal, and that Frankenstein had made two of them.
Once he was done looking them over, Frankenstein reached over and tugged at where the jacket crossed M-21's chest. After that he did the same to Tao, attaching the button to Tao's harness.
"These are tags," Frankenstein said, petting M-21's head. "In case something happens and you can't return by yourself - if you're found, you'll be brought back to us."
M-21 stared at him, stilling. Did the tag have information about home?
"Frankenstein," Master said from the sofa, "M-21 wants to know how the tags work."
"Oh, yes." Frankenstein scooped Tao out of his pocket. Tao squirmed but settled down when Frankenstein held him to his chest. "I engraved our address-" he said, holding out Tao's tag to let M-21 could see it better, "-here so that - hey!"
M-21 scratched at his jacket, hoping he could catch where the tag was.
"M-21-!" Frankenstein caught his paw, and M-21 whined, trying to wiggle away. He was disobeying an order, but he wanted it off. "What's wrong?"
What was wrong? What if he was caught by a Union agent and they read his tag! He would be directing them straight here! He didn't want that. M-21 tried to retrieve his paw, but Frankenstein kept it in a firm grip.
"M-21 is worried that whatever finds him, will then find us," Master said, sipping his tea.
"I see." Frankenstein didn't say anything for a few seconds, but he put down M-21's paw. "If that were to happen," Frankenstein said, "then we will know something happened to you, and we'd go to retrieve you."
M-21's eyes widened. They would?
Frankenstein chuckled, running his hand over M-21's head. "Of course we would. We want you safe and sound, and home."
M-21 whined, pressing into Frankenstein's touch, his tail wagging. Okay, he would keep the tag on, and make sure Tao kept his as well when they were out.
