Kehehe... I am well-versed in the ways of forming contracts with a wide variety of demon beasts. It is good that there have been many to be found here - all the more reason to suspect that a hellmouth could be hidden in this very town...

[The safety of this house may be up to dispute, although the animals do come and go as they please. Such is the will of Tanaka.

He grins as beholds her creatures, and he tries to beckon for the creatures to come closer.]

Yet your beasts are interesting in their own right. I shall have to appraise them and determine their power levels! Socks! Boney! The Dark Lord summons you forth!

[Meanwhile, the Dark Devas feel a bit uneasy from Socks' stare and take refuge within Tanaka's scarf.]

[barredheart]

[... To their credit, they don't immediately step forward, apparently ever loyal to White. It's only after she pats Benny's head that she approaches Tanaka, tail wagging a little as she sniffs at him, hi hello!!

Socks, on the other hand, is just going to launch himself at Tanaka's scarf it is time to play--]

Socks, no!

[hamnation]

[A more sensitive smile had started to spread across his face as Benny starts to approach. Oh what a cute!!

But Tanaka remains alert; as the cat launches forward, so too does Tanaka launch into action. He dips backward and raises his arms to try to catch Socks in the middle of his leap.]

Kehehe... You are a crafty opponent, I see.

sorry for the lateness!!!

[barredheart]

[Socks is easily caught, hanging in surprise as he stares at Tanaka. White's relief is palpable and she sighs.]

He's crafty, but he still can't catch a single mouse. [The worst mouser that ever wanted to be a mouser.] Your reflexes are really good, though I should've expected such from such a great and powerful darkness.

no worries!!

[hamnation]

[Tanaka grins as he holds up the cat and tries to set him down while petting him gently. The Devas remain on the teen's shoulders for the moment, having faith in the protection he offers.]

Yes, at the very least his power level pales in comparison to the power boasted by the Dark Devas of Destruction! [Illusions of pure dark bats materialize and flitter above Gundam's head in reflection of the pride he feels from the compliment.]

Of course, these are the reflexes of a being who knows only of destruction! Yet, my hand is restrained when it comes to the likes of mystical beasts. Socks of the Shadow Realm amuses me... I look forward to seeing how far he may progress!

[barredheart]

[He'll calm with pets, because Socks is nothing if spoiled rotten, even with the Devas so close.

... Those bats are. So cute? She shouldn't call them cute.]

He's still young, so he has much to learn. Maybe you could babysit... [.....] Take him under your wing every now and then to teach him what you and the Dark Devas know?

[Good, good. Tanaka's even being sure to try to expel calmness with his movements; he's been studying dunamis a lot, after all, and he uses them to help take care of the any nearby beasts.

But he shoots a surprised look at White due to her proposal.]

What?! You would allow your own familiar to undertake an apprenticeship with one as wicked as myself?! Do you understand the risks? There are no limits to the deadly techniques that I could pass on!

[hamnation]

[He says just before he ducks his head down to intensify his petting and softly coo directly at Socks.]

[barredheart]

[Silver is going to love this guy, and to that White bows her head... and to hide her grin.]

Sir, I am but a humble spirit! It would be an honor for someone as powerful as yourself to take on Socks as your apprentice, if only for a little while. Won't you consider it?

[hamnation]

[An honor... He blushes slightly at the respect being paid to him and closes his eyes with a smirk.]

Kehehe... Very well. Your humility has been noticed, spirit! I will take this being under my wing, if you are so insistent! And as a special deal, I will not even call for a sacrifice or blood oath as compensation. You could not find a better deal in any corner of the underworld! Just be sure not to spread word of this, or the foolish mortals may assume that I know mercy...
