Kuro chuckles at the assessment of Dicxson not being a dog, patting it on the nose gently. “Well, not entirely.” he murmurs, the beast now headbutting him. The tall demon is sturdy though and the motion only succeeds in making him chuckle. [i]'I love animals. They are so. . . .'[/i] He can not find the words for gust what they are, however furious scratching effectively distracts the hell creature while he listens to the rest of the back and forth between his brother and the angel, before both turn on him with the same question. He opens his mouth to respond, however his attention is caught by Aoba, sneaking up behind him for protection. The neo nightmare lays it's head on Kuro's shoulder best in can manage and take long whiffs of the little one's scent, sneezing happily.

He gives the angel a reassuring smile as Dani speaks up on the matter of Aoba's safety. Looking back to Dicxson he murmurs loud enough for everyone to hear. “Well, in order to use the plow, we needed a big, strong beast. It had to be smart and hard working, and since I know Dani has been working so hard to cultivate these fellows, and they seem absolutely perfect, I decided to give Dani the chance to show them off, and get some work done in the process.” He looks over his shoulder at the angel. “Normally one would use a horse, but I'm sure Dani will agree that Dicxson here is far better than any old horse.” Out of the corner of his eye Kuro spots Dani nodding vigorously, still holding his head up proudly.

[i]'Good, he's not fitting over the fact that I'm going to be putting it to a menial task, but his judgment at least. I do not have any great love for all this flattery I have to spew, but while my beasts would work, and indeed I'll be summoning one for myself, Dani's creation is in truth far better for the task at hand'[/i] Now positive that Aoba is at lease as safe as anyone could be around such an animal Kuro lays a hand aside Dicxson's neck and takes a step backwards. The beast follows and once close enough to Aoba for it to reach the smaller male it leans right over Kuro's shoulder and begins snuffling at his head and neck like a giant curious puppy. Dani giggles at this, as does his little brother, Kuro keeping a hand on it's neck should Aoba request he move it back.
