[Ikki had to take care of his little brother since he was young, but even with the orphanages, he wasn't able to enjoy much of being a child or play with Shun. He was always worried about them getting separated or his brother getting hurt, so he forced himself to be stronger and stronger, he grew up too fast and too soon. And even if he took well care of Shun, he rarely played with him, instead using their time together to try to make Shun stronger, specially when Mitsumasa Kido found them and they learned they would be separated no matter what.
Ikki pays attention to Hyoga, he really does. The wolf is well feed, clean and healthy. But Ikki doesn't play with him other than running behind him when they go out for walks and the puppy starts to run. Ikki just doesn't get what "having fun" means. So he watches Nill with a mix of complete confusion and surprise.
Hyoga growls as Nill starts to tug at the bone, but it's a light growl, mostly a playful one before the animal tugs back with all its strengths, letting go after a bit because that's the fun of a tug-of-war. The animal would prefer it if it was Ikki doing it but it won't complain for now. Maybe seeing this girl will get Ikki to do the same.]
