[Byakko gives an approving growl! Hiro feels that he understands this demon's social cues. All of them were different with how they interacted...]
Hehe... He says "It's cool, my girl. You ain't too short to ride!"
[Probably not word from word what Byakko said, but the intent was clear his enough.]
And if you're on the run, then it's better that you keep your head low then up!
[His quirky way of saying that she should be more discreet about her powers. He gives Byakko a pat and the tiger starts to walk forward down the street. He's not running at full speed out of consideration for Ai. He knows Hiro can handle it (even if he complains a little).]
He's got a specific smell that we should be looking out for. I definitely know it and Byakko has grown to know it. Our king should be hiding in one of the shopping districts nearby. [Hm? Was he really talking about a person?] If you want, you can keep an eye out for any stray demons that try to get the jump on us.
[Even if he's sounding relaxed, Hiro's still alert to everything in his own way. Byakko sniffs the ground before he starts picking up his pace. He's definitely locked onto a scent!]
[Hiro Kageyama... He sure is a goof, thinks Ai to herself. But he definitely isn't a bad guy. And she can't really complain about how this situation has turned out; she gets to ride on a cool demon tiger!
She listens to Hiro's explanation, nodding along and holds on as Byakko picks up the pace.]
Um! Is this king a demon or something else? I just wanted to clarify.
[She'll keep an eye out for demons in the meanwhile, but it seems clear so far!]
Oh! Something else! Though it makes me wonder what demon meat would taste like. Would you get stomachaches? Maybe it might depend on the type of demon...
[In the midst of his weird musing, Hiro vaguely answers her question. It's hard to say if he's being evasive on purpose or if he's seriously got his head in the clouds. Byakko turns around a corner and notices a older man running a takoyaki stand. There's a subtle sigh of relief from Hiro...
The stand looked a little busted at some angles, but it's clear that this guy has been hard at work with repairing it and keeping things in business. It just reminded Hiro that humans really were strong in times of crisis. Byakko's walk slows down as he approaches the stand and finally comes to a stop.]
Yooo, old timer! I'm glad you're still running shop. Plenty of people have probably asked for your services, huh?
Haha... It's been more than busy, Kageyama-kun! I see you're as energetic as ever. First you've found a tiger friend and now you've gained another friend? [A beat.] Or have you've been dating someone and haven't introduce her to me?
[As he hops off Byakko, Hiro starts to feel mischievous with what takoyaki man is thinking. Hmm...]
Yes. We've been going steady for five years now! Please come visit our wedding ceremony when we pass out the cards.
[Casually, he lifts up a victory sign with his fingers and his face carries an unflinching smile to boot. If there was an opening for comedy, he was going to take it!]
