"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 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).]
I'd be the worst one, though. I mean, look at this. [He raises an arm to show off the glowing tattoos on his forearm...] Sneaking just isn't something I'd be good at.
... Oh right, the whole nightlight thing. [ Like she's honestly forgotten about it-- or more like she's pretty much accepted that her buddy is a half-naked demon with glowing tattoos and she's chill with it. ]
Much as I hate to say it, you ever think about covering up?
[--except then he grins, joking. It also makes him feel kinda pleased to know she really doesn't mind at all he's some glowing guy. He knew it already, but still.]
Lately, yeah.
It's not like I don't have some clothes at the apartment. [He stretches out his arms in front of him.] Back in the Vortex World, there weren't exactly clothing stores around, and even if I found something it'd get torn to shreds during fights, so I ended up not bothering.
I'll run out of abilities eventually. [He turns a little to face her, propping up his chin with a palm.
The other hand lifts in front of him, summoning up a little fire in his palm, dancing between his fingers.] But hey, if you ever start getting chilled when I'm around, lemme know. I might not be able to share my ability with you, but I'd try to figure out something.
[ ... He's got to stop doing cute things like that. The offer makes her think of Yata and how he'd pushed past his discomfort to use his aura and warm her hands-- and that prompts a smile, as she watches the flame curling in his hand. ]
I'll take cuddles too, but just sparring with you is probably enough.
[At his core, Naoki just really likes to help. He's always liked to. Just... being in the Vortex World had dampened his inclination to offer as readily.
He laughs with the faintest hint of a blush, something that doesn't linger for long this time since he's gotten himself in a good mood. He waves his hand and the fire disappears with a few sparks lingering, fizzling out in his palm.]
Then, standby cuddle duty in case of emergencies? [He'll tease lightly back though he doubts how cuddly he'd be. Warm, yes.]

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??]

[ As far as she's concerned, he can give everyone in this place some fanservice the rest of the time. ]
action;
But for the rest of the time, just go around just like this?

I mean, unless you're freezing.
[ Surprise, Naoki, she is A-OK with you not wearing a shirt. ]

'Cause of my body, I'd be fine even if it was cold or snowing.
