[ he should hang up? he should. he got an answer. it's even a decent one. was it delayed though? yeah. still, is it tobari's problem? no.

fuck. ]

... s'fine if you're not.

Would you tell me where you are or are you gonna give me a hard time?

"You don't need to come see me, but if you want to play with my dog, that's fine."

[ yeah ]

[ HIEN ]

… what? What kind of asshole do I look like?

[ like yes he wants to see the dog bUT NOT WHEN HE DOUBTS HIEN IS FINE ]

"... A person? I dunno."

[ Sometimes you're just too used to being around assholes that you forget people like Tobari exist. ]

"It's fine. I bet he'd like to see you. Come play with my dog. I'll be busy doing other things."

[ there’s an irritated look, but it’s fine. he glances elsewhere like he’s already thinking of something else. ]

… fine. Where?

And what’s your dog’s name?

[ well shit uh ]

"Shion. He should be in the manor."

[ nailed it

he's technically not lying but also lmao it's fine ]

[ this is so fucking funny hak i’m losing my ass ]

Ah.

[ a beat ]

Don’t push yourself.

[ he’ll cut the line after. does this count as saying goodbye. is his ass going to get cursed i think so

but he will eventually show up at the manor with the same plastic bag the doggy delivered to him before there are just things in it. he’s yawning but looking through the rooms ]

Shion!

[ whistles for puppy ]

[ Hien mumbles a bye because Tobari cut the line. Okay!!!!

He teleports himself into the manor and turns into the usual dog and just trots around the manor like he owns the place. He can be seen pawing a cat's face gently. ]

[ not pawing the cat

tobari huffs but it’s really almost a laugh. he’s just going to scoop the whole pomchi right up into his hand and heft him up to his chest ]

Don’t be a bully like your owner.

[ His tail wags. Hello, Tobari. Physical affection is always a thing regardless of curses or not, so he nuzzles against his arm. ]

[ adorable… ]

Ah. Let me put this down. [ he yawns again…

but he’ll bring the pomchi with him as he goes to find the nearest table in this room. he’ll bring some things out of the plastic bag. a towel, because he doesn’t expect hien to have gotten dry normally. some cheese. bostco snacks. two homemade rice balls. someone really told tobari that hien normally eats cheese and snacks instead of keys and he’s like well fine.

gives the doggo some scritches ]

You’re smart, right? Bring Hien here later.

[ whenever he stops being busy with whatever ]

[ The puppy looks at the contents of the plastic bag. Cheese............... the scritches momentarily distract him. He yaps--luckily, it sounds like a real dog yap because he's using dog vocal cords. Does that mean yes? Sure. Hien will take a note of it later.

Tail continues to wag, but it momentarily pauses to put a paw on Tobari's chest. Is he tired? Getting enough sleep? He tilts his head and whines after the yawn. ]

[ well

he got the nightynight peanut curse so now he’s sleepy yes. and up to you but it can also infect hien to being sneepy

but also tobari said he’d take care of this dog… ]

M’fine. Don’t worry about it.

[ back to scritches for doggy!! and even a little kiss to the sweet puppy head. time to go find a couch to hang out on ]

[ I can't do that because Hien would choose to sleep right away.

He watches Tobari for a moment as he's being carried to the couch. Let's see... what can he do? ]

Are you tired?

[ The voice sounds like a concerned ten-year-boy. Hien is currently borrowing the voice of a child version of himself somewhere. He'll give you your voice back, child. Just a minute. ]

[

lifts dog like simba ]

Speak again.

[ SO HE KNOWS HE'S NOT HALLUCINATING ]

[ The dog just stares at him like O_O ]

S-Sorry...

[ . . . ]

... s'fine. Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you, I just thought I was going insane after everything.

[ THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH VORE AND NONSENSE. but he'll just flop on the couch, going back to cradling the pupper close and giving scritches. the way that his free time has probably just been spent with the cats around here but he's getting less free time already. ]

Might need a nap at some point.

[ the official schedules for the love interests from the game says tobari gets 4 hours of sleep a day for some reason ]

[ uuu the puppy nuzzles against Tobari's cheek ]

You should take a nap! I'll stay here with you.

[ tobari wtf u doin ]

[ the nuzzle.... cute. tobari's expression softens immediately and he just keeps petting the sweet doggo ]

Told Hien I'd play with you. Not much play if I'm snoozing away, right?

I like sleeping too!

[ boy, does he. the puppy licks his cheek. ]

So we can sleep together!

[ hien just larping out this dog is killing me

but ugh… normally he wouldn’t and there’s still a part of him that’s clearly torn because he said he’d babysit this dog but.

well,, the manor is at least safe so not like there’ll be any dangers. and he’s a light sleeper so… ]

… alright, but you doze off first.

[ he’ll just rearrange his spot on the couch so he can let the puppy lie on his chest. cuddly cozy ]

[ he has larped as worse things before it's fine

There's a small whine and he gently paws Tobari's face. But whatever! He'll curl into a ball and... try not to sleep................. ]

[ the paw in his face gets him to playfully chomp his teeth like he’s gonna eat it

let yourself sleep, pubby… tobari just scratches behind the doggo’s ears slowly even as he lets his head rest back and fights his heavy eyelids ]

[ The puppy's face is just OAO the entire time even after the playful chomping and ear scritching happens.

go to sleep!! so that he can escape!!!! he doesn't know that tobari's a light sleeper. he'll think of something. ]

[ this is so fucking funny HIEN ARE YOU DOING THIS

i guess even if tobari falls asleep he will literally wake up again at any slight nudge or movement

sorry ]
