Kaeru & Nyoko

"Weird ideas?" Kaeru's grin only widened. "Ya know the first person to mention it is usually the one that has those ideas." A wide grin as Kaeru bounced a bit towards Natsumi. "So, what weird ideas were you thinking huh? Maybe I need to contact HR or tell the boss-mwep!?" Ayako's hand promptly bonked Kaeru right on the head, causing the contractor to let out a surprised meow. In the same instance, Kaeru's feline ears vanished in a puff of small particles of light along with the tail. Nyoko would appear on the ground next to him, letting everyone know her presence with a loud meow as Kaeru held the top of his head with a pout.

"Oooow...yes ma'am..." He'd grumble, huffing lightly as Nyoko leaped onto his back, taking a place on his shoulder, balancing comfortably and nuzzling up to Kaeru. His grin soon returned, though and he'd call after Natsumi. "I'll remember this date then!" The trip back to the base was more or less uneventful, aside from Nyoko deciding that she wanted to rub everyones legs and spend the time soliciting pets from everyone.

Kaeru disembarked the vehicle, stretching his muscles and running a hand through his hair, moving it out of his line of sight. So those were demons, huh? Felt good to finally get to fight one. He messed up a few times to be sure, but it all worked out in the end so he wasn't too worried. Nothing more practice couldn't fix.

"Hm?" Kaeru looked towards Kaid wearing his usual friendly grin. "Oh, yeah no its fine ahaha. I probably shouldn't have been messing around buuuut I couldn't let that opportunity to mess with her just pass by ya know. It was too good to pass up, and hey I got free food out of it so I consider that a win." He'd respond, Nyoko fwoomping into existence in a crackle of electricity in his arms. She'd languidly yawn, giving Kaida a small meow of acknowledgement before rolling around in Kaeru's arms and promptly deciding to fall asleep. "So hey, Kaida was it? Your my senior here yeah? How often do we go on missions? To be honest that was a good warmup but I'm still feeling a little restless. Don't suppose you know any good sparring partners? Or do you guys have a gym here or something?"
