[Puzzles and multiplayer...he can do that. Probably. There's enough people in this apartment he could find someone to play with, right? Or to help with the puzzles. Fox would probably enjoy the puzzles, at least.]
Okay.
[Kashuu's so helpful...he doesn't say it out loud, but there's definitely appreciation here somewhere.]
[There's a little humming noise in response to the thanks - a nonverbal "you're welcome".]
I can play something with you too, if you want. Oh - someone taught me how to play chess a few days ago... I could teach you too, if you don't know it yet?
[Learning a new game might be just as good as multiplayer. As long as Naki's not too tired out by direct interaction, he certainly doesn't mind donating his time, either.]
[Naki's hair is doomed to be at least slightly messy...ah, but strategy and stuff sounds like a game that's both interesting and helpful? Learning! He gives an actual nod this time, despite the brush. He'd been holding still all this time...]
[Naki doesn't say "okay" again, but he does make a vague noise that could possibly be interpreted as one...he also closes his eyes for that hair ruffle, before turning back to look at Kashuu.]
[Smallest fox is the loudest fox of all, don't underestimate his small size! Naki's obviously used to it, having not reacted at all to the noise...his gaze does turn back to the fox at that question, though.]
...Better. [Since Naki returned, that is.]
He won't leave me alone. [Take how close they usually are, and imagine the fox being three times more clingy...is what he's trying to say?]
[Small but filled with noise, he sees how it is...]
He's probably not gonna leave you alone for a while.
[It's hard to even imagine a clingier smallest fox, but he's not too surprised. He imagines this might last for quite a while, considering the abruptness of Naki's death.]
[He makes a quiet affirmative noise, and...ah, would fox wake up if he petted him? He might....Naki's hands return to his lap. Maybe he's holding back for fox's sake, maybe he just wants to stretch out this single moment of alone time before being stuck with a permascarf for the next week.]
[It's like looking after a baby... Good luck, Naki, truly.]
He's really good, yeah. You both are. It's good you've got each other, too.
[Smallest fox can help out smaller fox when needed and vice versa, which seems like a pretty good deal to him. Having those dependable comrades is definitely always important.]

Date: 2016-06-10 06:18 pm (UTC)I don't know it.
[It's an unspoken "Yes, please teach me." Playing games doesn't tend to require too much talking either, so it's win-win, right?]

Date: 2016-06-10 10:39 pm (UTC)[He pauses in his brushing for a second, attempting to flatten a particularly stubborn piece of hair with his palm and failing miserably.]
It's pretty fun... And you can think about strategy and stuff.
[ie: the sort of game that takes up attention, without leaving much room for a wandering mind.]

Date: 2016-06-11 05:41 am (UTC)Okay.

Date: 2016-06-11 06:45 am (UTC)[He won't even scold Naki for not staying still! He's been doing a good job of it until now, okay. Good work punk.
After a few more runs through with the brush, he raises his opposite hand to ruffle Naki's hair.]
Almost done. Looks like most of the tangles are out, anyway.

If you need it brushed again, lemme know, okay?
no subject
Date: 2016-06-13 06:22 pm (UTC)I will.
[And the still-sleeping fox in the corner lets out an extra-loud foxy snore.]
no subject
Date: 2016-06-13 11:08 pm (UTC)—That was pretty loud. [Incredible... He smooths the brush through Nakigitsune's hair for one final sweep and then sets it off to the side.]
How's that little guy been doing, anyway?
[He already knows Nakigitsune is having A Time and he assumes the same for smallest fox...]
