"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?"

I didn't, really. I just wanted to see your face.

[masakados]

...

...Were you satisfied?

[flaredo]

You were really cute.

[masakados]

[Well, that answers that.] Always with the cute with you.

[flaredo]

What can I say, I have a weakness for cute, shirtless, tattooed guys who glow in the dark.

[ Because there's so many. ]

[masakados]

As a whole? Should I worry?

[Because yeah there's so many.]

[flaredo]

About as much as I should worry about your attraction to feisty blonde girls who train with demons, maybe.

[masakados]

Don't forget the glowing hair. That part's important to include in my weaknesses.

[He'd flick her hair but blood, so he leans over to brush his cheek against a few strands instead.]

[flaredo]

Oh, right. Nightlights attracted to other bright things.

[ Like a sassy brat. ]

[masakados]

Only when they're as bright as you.

[Countering SASS with SAP.]

[flaredo]

...

And I can't kiss you yet?

[ DIRECT HIT. ]

[masakados]

[Oops, it was super effective. Right to the weak point. Naoki ducks his head.]

... I never said you couldn't at all.

[Just, you know, crowded area challenge should take place outside of the hospital. Or something. Shh. He can change the rules.]

[flaredo]

C'mere then, nightlight lord.

[ Well, it can be a brief kiss, just a tug on his hand to reel him in-- ]

[masakados]

[And Naoki steps in pretty gladly while he thinks that he's just gained another nickname. He closes his eyes as he leans to meet her lips.]

[flaredo]

[ True to her (silent) word, Yang will keep it brief - this time - just a warm meeting of mouths before she draws back. ]

Okay, I'm all pumped up again!

[masakados]

[It's enough for Naoki's face to take on a dreamy, pleased cast... He smiles at her and he'd hug her except for his bloody hands. :/ They need to find a bathroom.]

All charged up to go beat that guy up?

[flaredo]

Completely! Hopefully final boss, here we come!

[ HEROIC... tugging, yes. ]

[masakados]

And even if not the final boss, you'll get to punch something.

[Brightly, as he follows along!]

[flaredo]

I'll take that. I just have to remember where that hallway was...

[ Judging from the THUNDERCLAP, not far. ]

[masakados]

They're sure playing up the mad scientist thing.

[Naoki's voice is a murmur.] I wonder if we should expect some monster to come shambling at us.

[flaredo]

You think so?

[ She sounds pretty excited. ]

[masakados]

[As she would--]

Sure, why not? It'd fit the atmosphere too.

[flaredo]

Yeah, you're right-- and we both know how much this place loves atmosphere.

[ Sadly, no monsters, but there's an ominously-lit room up ahead. ]

[ Call! ]

[kaba]

Hey, Yang! Just wanted to check up on how you guys were doing so far. Y'know, with the whole thing going on in CERES.

I'm kinda worried that Ruby might go out and doing something… [ whispering ] …dangerous.

[ He is so in overprotective dad mode right now. ]

[flaredo]

Don't worry about that! [ Brightly. ] If she does, Weiss and I will be there right along with her!
