With a slight spring in his step Kuro follows behind the angel, letting him take point on retrieving the tools they will need. Looking over the old rusted things he shakes his head lightly, deciding to fix them up a little bit before actually using them. “Yes, just one for now. I'll pull out the second one once you're set. . .” He takes the heavy object, admiring the fact that Aoba was even able to move it within reach. He smiles as he pulls out a handful of picks, hoes, shovels and the like, setting each one aside as he is handed them. He waves a hand, signaling they have enough, then hands an armload of them to Aoba before picking up the rest, including the heavy plow. At Dani's remark Kuro simply rolls his eyes, however Aoba, good spirit that he is, actually gives the demon a proper response.

Dani shakes his head, still not getting it. Hopping down from the side of the pen he follows the two of them out of the barn as they make their way over to the field. “I mean, I know you said he has to show an effort, but c'mon! These are heaven's bitches we're talking about! They’re not gonna get pissed if you just provide him food after all. Sure, have him do farm work, take care of the beasts, but I don't see the points in going all the way into making him as lowly as a human!”

Kuro simply shakes his head again. “Dani, Aoba wants to do this. Who am I to stop him? I don't own him after all.”

Dani pauses, then runs up behind his brother, darting in front of him and confronting him head on, making the taller demon have to stop or run into the smaller one. Kuro opts for stopping. Dani looks very confused and without any regard for the implications behind his question he asks, “You don't?”

The little brother is eternally grateful that Aoba is out of earshot when he asks this, not wanting to address this just yet with the young angel. In a soft voice he replies, “A bird in the wild is far more entertaining than one in a cage, don't you agree?” Moving past his big brother Kuro glances over his shoulder to see Dani seriously contemplating the question, turning to follow once more but at a much slower pace. Once they are in the field Kuro has Aoba set the tools down and with a little expended effort he sharpens those that need sharpening, and tightens those parts that have become loose. They are by no means brand new, but now they do not have to worry about them breaking or falling apart.

“There we are. . . .” Kuro murmurs, a look of satisfaction on his face. Looking to Dani, who is still deep in thought, perched atop the fence running around the field, he snaps his fingers a few times to get his attention. When at last Dani looks to him the little brother gives him a smile. “Hey, Dani, lend me one of your pets.”

Dani quickly comes out of his funk. “Why?! No! What do you want it for! You have your own! I-”

Kuro cuts him off. “I thought you might want to show Aoba your brood, but I guess if you don't think they're up to snuff, I cou-”

“No no! They're perfect! How dare you question that!” Not realizing he's being played Dani scowls and with a whistle he opens a gate to hell. The swirling mass of red, black, and purple lasts only a few seconds, just long enough for a beast the size of a minivan to charge through. Dani jumps forward as the gate closes, bringing the beast to a stop with just a raised hand, and after a few silent seconds he reaches up and pats it one the nose. The creature looks a lot like a very large horse, it's body structured much like one, however it's feet and head are those of a canine, and the tail one of a feline. Mounted on it's back are large bat wings that may prove to be a bit troublesome for what Kuro plans, however he's willing to try and work around them. The odd compilation of animals that seem to converge to make this pitch black beast fit seamlessly together, and rather than looking like a hodg podg, it comes across as rather elegant.

Once Dani steps away it rears and plunges a few times before Kuro stills it with the same gesture Dani had. Dani huffs at the fact that it's obeying his little brother, but looking past the taller demon he seems to puff up proudly as he meets Aoba's eye. Moving so he doesn't have to look over Kuro's shoulder to see the angel the smaller demon gestures to the beast with flare. “This is the best from my brood of Neo Nightmares. They are more flexible and more deadly than a regular nightmare, and they are fifty percent stronger! By replacing the flame feet flight from them and adding wings instead I improved their mid air maneuverability considerably, and the canine and feline parts add to their attack an balance, respectively.” Dani is practically glowing with pride at this point, the Neo Nightmare sniffing past Kuro at the angel, trying to get a better look. Dani nods sharply. “They're also at least twenty percent smarter, not as much as I'd hoped, but it is easier to train them than the originals. More brain power. They're not mindless killing machines anymore.” He chuckles softly, waiting for Aoba to give his opinion. 

The beast nibbles at Kuro, still trying to get past to check out the angel. However Kuro too wants to hear Aoba's opinion before letting it wander over to begin inspecting his precious Little Mouse. After all, it is one of Dani's creations, and it may not be a mindless killer, but there is always the chance that if Dani gets upset from the opinion then the beast will attack what made him angry.
