"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?"
[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.]
[He sets his hands at the bottom of his shirt, pulling it off over his head with an easy twist. Normally, it'd probably be a good show, with the flex of muscle underneath his tattoos but right now it's undermined by the POOF of dust originating from his shirt.
Naoki coughs, flapping his hand.] I think Inugami rubbed all his dust off on me when I found him.

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? ]

[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.]

[ 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;
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.]
action;
Yep, just cleaning.
[ Ahoooy. ]
action;
I've got a loooot of dust on me.
[Into the bathroom they go.]
action;
[ Peering at the top of his head. That sure is a layer of dust... ]
Okay, demon lord, clothes off.
action;
[He sets his hands at the bottom of his shirt, pulling it off over his head with an easy twist. Normally, it'd probably be a good show, with the flex of muscle underneath his tattoos but right now it's undermined by the POOF of dust originating from his shirt.
Naoki coughs, flapping his hand.] I think Inugami rubbed all his dust off on me when I found him.
action;
No kidding... what a loving dog you've got.
