"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?"
[He laughs.] I was just glad. [For more than one reason. He can't really explain it, though, without explaining a lot of things that've happened. You trust me enough to just fall asleep when I'm right there.]
But, since I don't want you headbutting me, what should I talk about?
[ She'll take it as I'm glad you actually went to sleep when you looked like you'd crawled out from the depths of hell, and thank goodness he's tactful.
But Yang hums, thoughtful. ]
... Anything? [ SO HELPFUL. ] Whatever's on your mind, whatever you feel like rambling about...
Rambling, huh... I dunno if I'm the rambly type. [he's just wondering it, vaguely teasing, as he winds some of her hair into a loose braid. This is relaxing.]
...You know, [since he's got it on his mind right now] there's no sun in the Vortex World.
[ ... Well. That's definitely not a subject she expected, but she likes the unexpected, so Yang will settle into the conversation fairly easily (and this time only smiling when she feels her hair being loosely twisted about). ]
So what do you do for light? Is it just endless night there or something?
[It's because of her hair, honestly-- it's bright and it glows sometimes and it reminds him of the sun. He's trying to figure out why he likes it so much.]
Nah-- there's a thing called Kagutsuchi. There's no moon, either, but there're its cycles. But it's more than that, too. It's sentient, and any of the people with a Reason in my world would have to get to it and be chosen for their worlds to be created.
...If my body weren't a demon's, I probably would've had a rougher time travelling the Vortex World under it. I mean, even demons act strange when it's full, like they're drunk.
[He leans forward to lean his head past her shoulder after sweeping her hair more to the other side. That way he can grin at her.] But I figured it was past due for you to get a silly nickname.

[He laughs at the oof and then shifts one of his hands to twist some of her hair absently around his fingers.]
action;
[ ... And look at him, playing with her hair already. She's... once again trying not to laugh. ]
action;
He presses his lips together.] ...You wanna laugh, don't you? [He's not pulling his fingers away, though...]
action;
action;
[He will get used to it. Yes. His fingers start to thread through some of her hair, absently gathering some of it. He's not braiding it yet.]
Hey, you okay with just letting me do this? Aren't you gonna get bored?
action;
She tilts her head, though, ever so slightly and mindful of the fact that he's fussing with her hair now. ]
Only if you stop talking! If you put me to sleep again just by messing with my hair, I might have some words.
action;
You mean again, right? [Given she fell asleep last time and all, but he's not exactly teasing her.]
action;
[ Yep. ]

action;
[ What a weird thing to think about, though... a sentient... thing in the sky that chose how the world would be remade? ]
action;
[He casts his mind back to it... but, nope. Aside from the occasional curse, he was fine.]
Sometimes my demons would act a little off, but they'd still listen to me.
action;
[ Be... proud? ]
action;
[He grins and keeps winding her hair easily into a braid, managing not to tug on it.]
action;
[ Is she going to have a Rapunzel braid, is this where he's going-- ]
action;
And now you're setting it too high.
action;
action;
I'm really not, charisma queen.
action;
You can stop being so modest now, Demon Lord!

[He leans forward to lean his head past her shoulder after sweeping her hair more to the other side. That way he can grin at her.] But I figured it was past due for you to get a silly nickname.

action;
[He just grins, undeterred by her tone or raised eyebrow, and leans back to focus on her hair again. He starts to comb free the braid he made.]
