I thought you were content with my Allmate form. I am...still trying to understand my physiology in this body. Please forgive me any glaring errors, mun.

[crooked_tail]

A two cane!

[Don't mind this Ribka running over to check Ren out, his ears alert and tail flicking excitedly.]

I thought your kind was extinct....What is this 'Allmate'?

[formerlydog]

[Ren bristles, the dog instincts in him telling him to growl and push the thing away. That flicking tail is also going to drive him up the wall.]

An Allmate is...a companion. [Ren's never had to define it before. It's difficult.]

is it bad that i just imagined Ren chasing Konoe up a tree?

[crooked_tail]

A companion....? Wouldn't that be a friend or ally?

[Konoe's tail slowed a bit, watching the dog turned human with a curious look.]

Can you tell me more?

not even a little bit~

[formerlydog]

[More bristling. Ren doesn't know why, but he has the insane urge to chase the little thing around the room right now.]

It is different than a mere friend or ally, but that is part of it too. As an Allmate, I was...mechanical. I had specific programming and functions to perform.

Being a cat is suffering.

[crooked_tail]

Mecha-ni-cal? Programming? What's that?

[Konoe has started to notice Ren's bristling, his own tail now doing so.]

Are you okay?

pfft suffering in luxury

[formerlydog]

[Ren is losing his patience. This isn't like him.]

....I do not know.

Hey, they have to groom and nap and kill innocent creatures for fun.

[crooked_tail]

What are you feeling?

[Because he's getting the weirdest feeling that he was going to be chased.]

lots of grooming and napping, that's for sure

[formerlydog]

......

[Ren lets out a quiet little noise, not unlike a growl. But softer.]

See? It's a *hard* hard life.

[crooked_tail]

[Where's Rai and Asato when you need them?]

You're not angry are you Two Cane?

[powerofvoice]

Huh? It's probably gonna take us both some time to get used to.

[formerlydog]

....Aoba!

[Look at that big ol' happy face he's got for you~.]

[powerofvoice]

Don't look so surprised. You didn't think I'd make you get used to it by yourself, did you? We'll get used to it together.

[formerlydog]

.....

[No words, Aoba. So here, let newly human Ren forehead bump you affectionately.]

[powerofvoice]

[He rests his head there, just as he always had when he was just a pup in his arms. It was different now but it was still Ren.]

You had to go and get tall, too.

[formerlydog]

........

[Uh oh. Now Ren's worried.]

.....Sei was 1 centimeter taller than you, so I had no choice when I entered his body....

[powerofvoice]

I-it's fine. [Aoba can't help but frown at his worry. He'd come here to cheer him up, not to worry him.] I'm just used to you fitting in my lap, that's all.

[formerlydog]

.....

[Even more worry now. Silently, Ren surveys Aoba's stance, checking to see if, maybe he could still....

Finally, he takes Aoba by the shoulders and applies pressure.]

Please. Sit down.

[And then there goes Ren, tall and gangly as he is now, fitting himself into Aoba's lap as best he can, legs straddling, ass resting against Aoba's crotch and thighs, and arms wound around his neck. He tries to catch Aoba's eyes.]

I can still fit in your lap, Aoba.

[deathdrive]

Well, well... Looks like the pup has grown into a big boy. How cute.

[formerlydog]

.........Aoba?

[deathdrive]

...

[ This could be fun if he plays his cards right. So Ren gets an apologetic smile. ]

Sorry, it was a joke.

[formerlydog]

[Ohhh, mun. What a cruel, cruel joke. Look how relieved Ren is now!]

I still find jokes difficult to understand at times. I am sorry.

[deathdrive]

[ That's what muns are for! Aobas are for petting their pups, insincere though it is. ]

Don't worry about it. You really are taller, though. How unfair.

[formerlydog]

.......

[Amazing how fast that smile can disappear, huh? Ren's just so fragile in this new body. He isn't sure what his limits are, what he can or can't do anymore. Everything is different.]

....It's because this is Sei's body. I am sorry I cannot change my height, Aoba.

[deathdrive]

[ Ah, how 'Aoba' would like to make that smile disappear forever, hopefully sometime in the near future. He just needs a little patience... ]

I said don't worry about it. Not being an Allmate doesn't mean you aren't still customizable...

[ His hand drops from Ren's head to the crystal hanging around his neck, the gem glistening as he fondles it. ]

[formerlydog]

[....if this is another joke, poor Ren doesn't get it. His frown only deepens a little anxiously.]

...customizeable?
