"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?"
[That's a good question... Naoki's taking his sweet time thinking, too. He doesn't really go by places often and think "oh hey that'd be a good place to get some alone time". Barring the apartments--] There's the gardens in the residential district.
[He laughs. What he's not mentioning is how he doesn't think he could do that because he'd get embarrassed. No. He needs to give Yang no more reasons to give him new nicknames or opportunities to see him blush.]
[A sound of affirmation and Naoki stretches slightly himself, relieved to be out of a crush of people. He doesn't mind being around people generally, but so many in one space... hahh. He looks around them before moving to walk further into the gardens.] Better. I can actually hear myself here.
[It wasn't that bad, really, which is why he grins.]
Nah, no worries. It just gets a bit uncomfortable.
[Now, if there were a lot of people panicking or frightened, that'd be a whole other story.]
But, you know, there's one thing about sensing things from others that I don't mind. It's like getting to feel how alive the people around you are. [Eh, it might be a strange sentiment, 'cause you can just look and talk with a person to realise that much, but emotions can be so vivid and strong.]
...Yeah. [He faces away as he talks, looking toward trees, plants, flowers.] Back in my world, just before I got here, there weren't any others left. Aside from me and Raidou.
Gdon? Yeah, that's Raidou. [He turns around, though, and his smile is wry.] He doesn't know who I am, though. He's a different Raidou... or something.
But... After the Conception happened, my body was turned into a demon's. [He flicks up a finger.] People put the Conception into motion, and the Conception is when a world is ended for the sake of making it over again.

That's no good-- what's a good spot for some alone time?

[ Mostly because she's running around somewhere else. But she'll adjust her course accordingly. ]

[He shrugs lightly, turning with her to follow along.]

[ fighting, not flowers. ]

[He probably clashes a bit with flowers...] At least, I don't remember any time I just looked at flowers for a long time.

I did go to their cafe to have something to eat, but... what, did you go and get a kiss?
action;
[ one was a squirrel, and the other was too embarrassed, so she had to kiss him on the cheek like a boss. ]

[He laughs. What he's not mentioning is how he doesn't think he could do that because he'd get embarrassed. No. He needs to give Yang no more reasons to give him new nicknames or opportunities to see him blush.]
action;
Yep! I don't think they'll be offering free kisses in the gardens, though.
action;
[A crowd of kiss fiends swarming the gardens... though he's sure that wouldn't exactly be the case. Maybe.]
action;
[ What a reassurance. ]
action;
[Oh, good, he sounds convincing. Excellent. He's the champion.]

[He shakes his head lightly as they walk on.]

[ He'd been so surprised to see her at first, hadn't he? ]
action;
[Hence his, yeah, surprise.]
action;
[ NOT A EUPHEMISM. ]
... And does that have anything to do with you getting a demon body, then?
action;
But... After the Conception happened, my body was turned into a demon's. [He flicks up a finger.] People put the Conception into motion, and the Conception is when a world is ended for the sake of making it over again.
action;
Your world was ended??
I mean, sure, I guess that happened to all of us if I'm supposed to believe the higher-ups, which I don't but--
