"Heeey, you've reached Yang! Well, actually, you didn't reach far enough, 'cause I'm not here right now! But don't yang up! Just leave a message on this baby, and I'll get back to you soon enough, okay?"
[So, there's probably been odd noises in the apartment all day. Scuffling sounds. Coming from overhead. After a while, Naoki started thinking it wasn't, in fact, their upstairs neighbours and set to searching about and found a surprise attic (??????) entrance and while up there...
Oh. Well, well.]
Hey, Yang?
[Calling down from the little way he found into the small space over their apartment.] How does Zwei feel about other dogs?
Because he might have a new best friend who might wanna share the house with him now and again.
[Muffled from their weird attic-- and then there's a sharp, deep bark.] You might wanna come here too.
[He'll just be shimmying out of this opening, while a very noodly, very floaty dog demon noodles its way around his body, happy to be out of the attic.]
I'm-- [ laughing now, because ugh what a cute dog?? Come here, Inugami, let her rub your ears while you're nuzzling. Well, isn't he more affectionate than the other demons? ]
[Inugami's tail whirs in the air as he snuffles and whines happily at the attention-- and Naoki's watching with a triumphant smile.]
Looks like he's got you. [Say what you will about those demons Naoki ran into first, but they were far more agreeable than the stronger ones that came later. With strength comes a big head, or something.
Inugami flips himself over, as though inviting belly rubs. Easier when he floats, ain't it?]
[Pause. For dramatic effect.] Lots and lots of dust. [To punctuate this, he ruffles a hand through his own hair and there comes a lil explosion of it.]
