"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?"
I'm-- [ laughing now, because ugh what a cute dog?? Come here, Inugami, let her rub your ears while you're nuzzling. Well, isn't he more affectionate than the other demons? ]
[Inugami's tail whirs in the air as he snuffles and whines happily at the attention-- and Naoki's watching with a triumphant smile.]
Looks like he's got you. [Say what you will about those demons Naoki ran into first, but they were far more agreeable than the stronger ones that came later. With strength comes a big head, or something.
Inugami flips himself over, as though inviting belly rubs. Easier when he floats, ain't it?]
[Pause. For dramatic effect.] Lots and lots of dust. [To punctuate this, he ruffles a hand through his own hair and there comes a lil explosion of it.]
Go say hi to Zwei and make friends, okay, Inugami?
[Naoki wanders over to give the demon, whose tail has stopped wagging, a few pats. Inugami makes a whining noise but indeed he will noodle his way off to do so.]

[Also oops, here comes the dog noodle. Inugami zips toward her, sniffing at her, winding all around her.]
action;
[ HI NOODLE DOG?? ]
action;
[Naoki sniffs, folding his arms over his chest. Inugami keeps on sniffing and he might just NUZZLE UP AGAINST YOU, Yang, watch out.
He's really very much dog as opposed to demon. Not like Naoki's other demons.]

He is really cute, right? [PROUD. But that said.] I don't know how he got here, though. Inugami?
[The demon turns his head to peer at him, answering: DON'T KNOW. INUGAMI WAS JUST HERE. Now, more importantly, back to the belly rubs.]
action;
[ He wasn't calling from the roof, after all. AND THIS DOG IS TOO CUTE-- ]
action;
[Naoki sighs and palms his hand over his hair. They made a fun new discovery today?! Discoveries.]
action;
[ MORE DEMONS? ]
action;
[Pause. For dramatic effect.] Lots and lots of dust. [To punctuate this, he ruffles a hand through his own hair and there comes a lil explosion of it.]
action;
[ She sounds perfectly saccharine, but that sure is a gleam in her eye. ]
action;
[With a sniff. Though he's giving her a look, eyebrow lifted.]
action;
action;
He's looking at her with an eager light in his eyes, shuffling his feet. Shamelessly eager. What.] You're gonna help me?
action;
[ THE MOST INNOCENT when she's anything but. ]
action;
[AT ONCE with a bright smile. Yes. They're both innocent here.]
action;
[ That's a lie. ]
action;
[Naoki wanders over to give the demon, whose tail has stopped wagging, a few pats. Inugami makes a whining noise but indeed he will noodle his way off to do so.]
action;
[ Poor noodle dog. ]
action;
[He nudges lightly against her, walking up close beside her.]
action;
[ Nudging back-- it's hard to say whether she's joking or not. ]
action;
You'll lock it anyway, won't you?
action;
action;
[He just swings his hand over casually to slide his fingers into hers.] That's for the best. But, hey. You're just helping me clean up, it's all fine.
[Totally innocent. So off to the bathroom they go.]
