Nakigitsune was simply curious as to what exactly the slide is for, and how someone his size might use it. [It's not like there's any children around to show an example.
....wait, is Aoge trying to wander away again? At the speed of Eeyore.]
[Look... He may be well-intentioned but he's also Mikazuki.]
Oh... Well, you just climb up the little ladder thing, sit down on the top and slide down the rest of the way. They probably have bigger slides if you wanna try-- [No, come bACK HERE AOGE... He pauses mid-sentence to trot after their moseying horse.] --If you wanna try one out that isn't just for little kids.
[Watching Kashuu trot away...shouldn't the horse be the one trotting? Is Kashuu secretly a horseumogami? Questions Naki doesn't consider.]
Adult-sized slides! Do you think perhaps our master would enjoy sliding down them? We could invite him out here, once we find one. [But ah, Naki's looking at fox now...would fox like to slide? The look he gets in return is probably a no.
[First he was a cakepan, then a blanket, now a horse... Maybe he's not a tsukumogami at all! Maybe he's a changeling!!]
I've never seen him do anything like that before, but I guess he might like it? I mean, there's not really anything to dislike, y'know. You're just sliding... [A little huffy sigh, and he turns his attention outward.]
We'll have to actually find a big one first, though. ...And I guess we should probably take Aoge back.
[Just when everyone thinks they're safe from the shapeshifters, no!! Here comes Kashuu!]
How should I know? I don't know what he was looking for in the first place. [Patting Aoge too... Good work, tired horse.] But if we're gonna check out slides, we probably shouldn't pull him around anyway.
If only horses could speak, it would be much easier to understand their problems... [Does Aoge even have problems? He seems pretty content right now, at least.]
You never know! Perhaps we may find a slide for horses.
[Maybe they have problems with heavy riders! Scary oodachis! Inferior hay quality?]
A slide for foxes...could those really exist? I'd happily try one if we found it!
[Though he'd fit on the kid slide just fine? Oh well, maybe he'll go when they find a Kashuu-sized slide. Heading back! With Aoge! Will the trip back be exciting as the trip here?]
[The oodachis probably are a problem, that's true. Or Iwatooshi. Probably Donut too, he seems like the kind of guy who'd stand on his horse.
Either way, the trip back is pretty uneventful! Seems like Aoge's tired out, even though it's hard to tell because he just... moves at the same pace all the time... But once he's all carefully put back in the pen, Kashuu turns and gestures toward the park area.]
So! Let's go have a look and see if we can find those slides.
[Aoge's had so much exercise...too much walking for one day? He was truly a real asset back on the battlefield.
Also, Naki hadn't actually expected to go looking for slides? For some reason. But this sounds like a good adventure! A non-deadly adventure! Unless they get too close to the pond again, maybe? Not that he minds. He looks at Kashuu, looks at the park area, aaaand starts walking.]
I wonder how many slides we might find in this park? Or how big they could be!
[He's a tired slow horse who earned a nap and an apple...]
We can keep track of 'em, I guess. Some of the tantou might want to try the smaller ones out... I wonder how big the biggest ones are? Maybe we can take some pictures.
[He's already pulling out his CereVice... There's another park just beyond the one they were just at with a bigger slide, though!]
[Considering this is Cereal, it wouldn't be entirely surprising if they found a slide big enough for a Transformer or something....but first! Naki moves ahead, scouting out the area past the first playground, shading his eyes for a better look around.]
Hm, this slide seems bigger than the first...perhaps the next will be even bigger!
[The fox has climbed onto his head for this. Double scouting! Once Kashuu snaps his picture though, Naki will climb on top of the slide for an even better look around.
Hmmm.....maybe over that way? There seems to be a playground totally covered over in vines or something.]
[They'll totally go to the vine-covered playground so covered in vines you can barely see the playground...Naki even helpfully points at it, from his position on top of the slide! Before looking down.
...Right. Sliding.
Hm.
He puts one foot on the slide. Wobbles! Sticks his arms out for balance? This is totally how you go down a slide, watch him kindasortamaybe walking down! With the fox still on his head!]
[Glancing over to see where Naki's pointing-- Why is there a small jungle in here. But as he's turning back around to be like "no", Naki starts walking(ish) his way down the slide and Kashuu is immediately distracted.]
...What're you doing?
[Does he have to teach this punk how to go down a slide properly?? LOOKS LIKE IT.]
[Wow Naki doesn't have a death wish, he's just curious!!
Dangerously curious?
At least he's not actually moving in that direction yet.]
Is it a wrong choice? We simply thought one of those plant-covered structures seemed to be shaped like a slide...but we could try a different direction instead, I suppose.

Naki nods though, at...Kashuu's reply in general, and move to give Aoge a pat.]
Did he find what he wanted? [He found killer fish and a playground and possibly maybe a tasty topiary! A day full of discoveries.]

I'm not sure about that... We'd be more likely to find a slide for foxes, I think.
[When will smallest fox slide with Naki, honestly. ANYWAY, starting to lead Aoge back to the stable.]

For now, though, Kashuu's just taking advantage of the prime opportunity right in front of him.]
Hey! Since you're already up there and all, why don't you give that slide a test and see how it is?
[Smallest fox can come along for the ride, clearly... And Kashuu will just merrily film from the side like a Proud Parent™.]

[by way of the slide? Maybe???
Kashuu didn't exactly say to slide down the slide.]
no subject
I thought you wanted to actually slide. Isn't that why you got up there?
no subject
[He points again, over toward vine country, once he's down on the ground.]
no subject
[Both Naki and smallest fox don't know how to let their inner children free, apparently!!
And Naki also might have a death wish?! Why does he keep going toward the dangerzones...]
What, do you seriously wanna look over there? There's probably nothing to even slide down. It's all covered in gross stuff.
no subject

yet.]Is it a wrong choice? We simply thought one of those plant-covered structures seemed to be shaped like a slide...but we could try a different direction instead, I suppose.
no subject
I mean, even if it is a slide, what do you wanna do? Peel all those vines off?
[Naki doesn't even use them right?! It'd be so much effort for no return!]
no subject
.......I hadn't thought that far.
no subject
Think about these things first! What they aren't even normal vines, huh? What if they're vines that strangle people to death or eat 'em?
no subject
[Naki nods. Keep on agin,' babysitter Kashuu! You'll be older than jiji in no time!]
