"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?"
[--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.]
[ Your HALF-NAKED DEMON HUMAN NIGHTLIGHT Social Link has reached RANK 3! Your power to use Naoki's abilities for your own sense of comfort has grown! Naoki will now share his warmth with you!
SPARKLES-- okay no wrong game, she's simply squeezing his hand before she lets go. ]
[Eventually he might use one of her knees as an armrest, don't mind. He'll close his eyes again too, though less like he's tired and more like he's soaking in something.
--the atmosphere of the gardens, maybe. Or what he inevitably senses in emotions. Yang's comfortable to be around.]
[ Wow, her knee isn't there for your glowing arm!!
Except she doesn't really care, because out of Team RWBY, he happened to befriend the one who really doesn't mind a lack of personal space, so long as it's not by someone who needs their jaw shattered.
And he had teamwork today, she can let him borrow her knee as a reward, sure why not. ]

[ As far as she's concerned, he can give everyone in this place some fanservice the rest of the time. ]

But for the rest of the time, just go around just like this?
action;
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.
[DEMON THING.]

I'll hold you to that. You never know when we'll lose power again!

Mmhm, now you've got me around just in case.
[It seems he's more amendable after all to being stuck with Yang...]

SPARKLES-- okay no wrong game, she's simply squeezing his hand before she lets go. ]
Thanks! I feel a lot better prepared now.
action;
Mmhm, you're welcome.
[It's always good having an electric blanket in case. Albeit a half-naked demon human nightlight-shaped one.]
