"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?"
[Yang stop reccing him to people... He flops his head backward against the fountain (as much as he can with his neck horn in the way), looking up at the sky before he closes his eyes.
Maybe he's a little tired.] Since you seem to be looking out for me, I guess I can't slack off...
[He's not so sure about that. Out of all of the people that he's met in Cerealia, Yang is the one he's spoken most to and feels the most comfortable around. But she's also slowly but surely earning his respect.
And with that... somehow...]
... [Tired... Can he take her at her word?] For a little bit, then. [He shifts his arms to fold them behind his head.]
[NO, HE'S RESISTING... It'd feel even more uncool than usual if he dozed off while he was hanging out with Yang.]
... Fight monger. [But he teases with affection. He falls quiet after that, relaxing despite himself. He probably won't do anything more than lightly doze, though.]
[HE CAN FEEL YOUR EYES, YANG. But he looks relaxed and pretty content at first... These kinds of moments aren't very common for him, and maybe that's why he can't just completely drift off.
Because he starts thinking about ViViD and the 'missing' people and wondering vaguely why that is and what CERES could be playing at and also thinking about the Vortex World and what he told Yang...
[That seems like a thing that she should've done... So says he, who isn't big on fighting. Serious fighting, at least. A punch never hurt anyone (too much).]

You can slack off a little right now. There's no one here you need to prove anything to.

[ What a good friend. But she's also protective of her friends, and Naoki's certainly reached that level. She'll look out for him. ]

Thanks, though. [It was sweet of her to try and soothe him.]

It's been known to happen. [And, after a pause:] I was just thinking about today. And CERES.

Neither can I. I tried talking to one of them and he pretty much blew me off.

So, the next time the guy shows his face around? [A punch for good measure??]
