Kaeru & Nyoko [hr] "Not gonna lie, kinda excited Nyoko." Kaeru giggled, walking at a decidedly unhurried pace. Behind him, a furry creature that resembled something of a large cat, almost seeming to be a miniature tiger of some sort with bluish white fur. This 'Nyoko' as she was apparently named merely mewled in response, seemingly in agreement. "What do you think they'll be like? Wonder if there's anyone I could spar with. The guys in the dojo are sooo weeeak." Another giggle as he'd stride along at a casual pace, heading for the DDF building. "Sometimes I think they even like it...weirdos." Another mewl of agreement from nyoko as she'd disappear in a flash of light before quickly reappearing on Kaeru's head in a mere instant. "Ahaha-hey! hey! Watch the hair I spent way to long on it ya know!" His pleas fell on deaf, feline ears though as Nyoko continued to make herself at home, the large feline not having too much room to laze around though, ended up instead laying on top of his head, front and back paws dangling off either side of his head. "Tsk, fine. You're lucky you're cute - ah, we're here." He already thankfully had his orientation a few days ago, but he had yet to see any real deployments or combat. This was the first time he was supposed to really meet anyone on the team beyond just an initial greeting. There was supposed to be someone new too, wasn't there? "...Ah?" Opening the door to the building, he could hear the alarm before he even opened the door and the activity from inside could be seen from outside, too. Kaeru couldn't help but to grin. This meant there was a demon right? That wasn't something someone should be excited for, but man, he [i]really[/i] wanted to test himself against a demon and see just how tough they were. "Alright, lets-mhm? Do I smell...cinnamon...?" It just so happened, Kaeru entered the building just behind Fedrica as she'd run off to the meeting room and hand off the cinnamon rolls to the receptionist. Well, on one hand he really shouldn't linger, but on the other hand those smelled awfully good. He'd take a moment to consider his options before glancing up at his soon to be co-conspirator. "Psst, Nyoko?" The Raiju, apparently had the same idea already and before he even said anything, Nyoko had already leaped off his head and was following after the baked goods. "Bring like...five back for me!" He'd whisper to her as she'd leave. "And if I remember right...meeting room this way!" He'd run off down the hallway as Nyoko began the greatest food heist in the DDF's history. He could already see most of the others gathered, plus someone he hadn't seen yet. She looked kinda tough. He had to wonder, just how tough was she? If this was any other situation he might have challenged her to a round of sparring, but well, that probably wouldn't look good. Instead, Kaeru chose the reasonable option of walking up behind Kubo, and giving her a rather pat on her back. "Hiyooo, Emi right?" He was pretty sure that was her name. He hadn't been around long, but he made a point to remember most people he had been introduced too during orientation. "No need to give the new girl a look!" He'd say, as if he wasn't still mostly new himself. "I know she's kinda scary looking but hey that's got its own vibe to it ya knows." He'd greet her cheerily as he'd walk around her. "Reporting for duty! New recruit Kaeru Nakanishi and...Nyoko. She's around here somewhere. Don't worry about it she'll be here before we leave. Probably...[sub]if she's not busy getting fat...[/sub]" That last part was said in a low, grumbly voice. There was a good chance she would eat most of them.
