Yamato remained silent as he listened to the being talk. When it posed the question of worth, he couldn't truly find a particular reason as to why he should be the one to receive power over someone else. If anything, he was a bit undeserving, what with his tendency to ignore work and focus on play, to think mostly of himself, to ignore the call of others. But, well, that did not change his desire. He still wanted power, though he was still unsure why he did. Would it really change anything? "I don't believe there are too many people less deserving, as I simply want power for selfish reasons." he replied honestly. "Power so I can be confident. Power so I can reach short-term goals. Power so that I can be brave. Though.... Power so that I can protect somebody is the most apparent, I think. I wish to have power to protect a friend, as well." He wasn't sure why, but he felt he needed to be completely true. As if this being, this fox-gi--- Wait, what? Perhaps he'd just been musing on something internally, or perhaps he was just not really looking at the being for some reason, but it took a minute to notice that the being before him had, in fact, cute ears and a tail. Even if it was cosplay, it fit so perfectly. "Ohhh! What?!" he suddenly got excited, ignoring anything else. "Are those real? Can I touch them? My loyalty remains with fluffy tails!" ----------------------------- Keiji's small smile grew larger as the woman caved in and agreed. He now had established a contract which would allow him to remain here, in the Living world, with no difficulties so long as she didn't screw up and die or something. Well, right now was a perfect time to find out, as the aforementioned demon had finally appeared, and it seemed quite berserk. With large, knife-sharp teeth and an inhuman growl, one would have to be fairly foolish to not understand its intent. "Then this shall be your first task: Be rid of that demon. Now, steel yourself." with a flash of light [s]everything just changed, her molecules got all rearranged[/s] and his hand extended towards her, she would feel the contract sealing and his power seeping into her. She was now his, and he was now hers. "It is done." And right about the time he said that, the demon, not waiting for them to completely finish, lunged after the woman with clear desire to tear her head from her neck.
