You're making me sound more majestic than I am. [that's not being majestic that is just being EVIL,] I'll play with them if they ask for it, but that's all.
They're lucky just to get that much attention from me.
Ah. It's only a game then. [Rang is being big egotistical garbage, but D only smiles and thinks it's amusing. RANG IS SO LUCKY TO BE A FOX MAN.] They are, but they won't ever know it.
[D IS OUT HERE ENCOURAGING THIS LIKE A LOKI BESTIE
Rang just gives him an amused look like `i think you're also insane for aiding and abetting my behavior, and unfortunately i like that`, so NO LESSONS WILL BE LEARNED TODAY,]
I can't tell if you're like this because you don't like humans, or because you like what I am.
[he thinks it's both but like, which one wins out over the other huh]
[OOF. He reaches up to rub the spot flicked, face squinted.]
Again, I believe you're misunderstanding what exactly the shop is... [He pats Rang's cheek as retribution for the flick. Touch week!] You would have your own space with no one else.
[Be nice to Ten-chan. Thinks about how Ten-chan would heckle Rang like a punky little brother. Funny.]
It's because you're a legend that you are owed a space in the pet shop.
[THE WAY RANG WOULD BE ANNOYED AT BEING SUPPLANTED AS THE YOUNGER SIBLING ANYWAY this binch can't ever be happy. noms on ten-chan angrily, except not because HELLO?
Rang just looks at D like 'you continue to have the weirdest lore out of everyone I've met'.]
...Huh. I thought it was more like a penthouse for pets.
[would rang be fine with just a penthouse.... maybe, he is a sugar baby ig grits teeth]
[Rang, PLEASE. Your inferiority complex. Get a grip.]
No. It's an ark. A ship which can traverse the boundaries man has made for themselves. It houses all of the animals and plants I collect because they are not limited by their moralities.
They are just animals with instincts.
[Rang, the sugar baby... He will fit right in at the shop (no).]
Not exactly. The humans determine it all on their own by their actions as a whole. Once they let go of their selfish desires, perhaps they'll be able to walk upon the ark.
no subject
unfortunately Rang likes everything D is saying, i hate it here]
That's another thing I hate about them. [he says, with much cheer.] They can take all the fun out of it, just by being themselves.
[it's fun to watch chaos, but it's also fun to cause it.]
no subject
Also not Rang being mad he can’t have fun because they do all the chaos themselves. What a fox thing to say (thinks fondly of ten-chan).]
Is that what you do in place of not eating hearts? Disrupt their lives with more chaos.
no subject
I grant wishes. [a beat as he slides a look over at D, mischievous] Probably in the same way your shop does.
And if those wishes don't make them happy... Well, humans never know what they're really asking for until it's too late.
no subject
I believe they know exactly what they're asking for; however... I don't believe they understand what to do with it when they finally have it.
[He gets it. Him and Rang are out here being Loki. That's great.]
So that is your nature. To test the mettle of the humans who are always greedy, and selfish, and hungry for things they cannot moderate.

[he thinks it's both but like, which one wins out over the other huh]
no subject
Both. [HE WILL JUST SAY IT.] I dislike humans, and I like what you are.
I would love to have you in my shop. Not to sell, of course. You would make a lovely addition.
no subject
Rang gives him a dry look at that,]
Is 'not to sell' supposed to make that better? [if rang played otome games then he would accuse d of being toma-adjacent
he flicks d gently on the forehead instead, touch week] I'm a legend, not someone's collection. And anyway, I don't do well with other foxes.
[he'd start a fight with ten-chan]

I'm going to keep misunderstanding as long as you keep calling it a pet shop. Can't you change the name to something better?
[imagine talking to someone and saying that you live in a PET SHOP it's the principle of the matter d!!!!]
no subject
Is it not? [He smiles in amusement at Rang. His eyes are twinkling.] That's simply what it's called for others to understand.
It's an ark. For all of life worthy to continue living. So their existences don't disappear for good.

Who determines who's worthy or not? You?

I'd prefer the ark more without them.
[rang like i WILL gatekeep along with my gaslight/girlboss partner D,]
But it doesn't sound so bad, I guess. [don't be tsun about noah's ark] Do you take visitors?
no subject
[RANG GATEKEEPING A PLACE HE HASN'T EVEN BEEN YET. He's so funny, damb.]
We are a pet shop. [He smiles teasingly.] We have visitors all the time. [But he knows what Rang means.] Yes.
We love it when those like you and T-chan pay us a visit.
no subject
Hmm. [hmmmm,
on one hand it feels silly to think of this possibility, considering they are DEAD and who knows if they'll see each other ever again, but]
I guess I can bring Yuri with me if I do. She's a fox too -- not a gumiho. She could be safe there if anything happened to me.
