[IKEA TIME. There are only so many places in this damn Japanifornia place tch.
Unfortunately, there is a little disturbance. From a distance, D's voice is saying,] Now, now. T-chan, why have you done this? I know you are more well-behaved than this. My goodness, you've made a mess. Did you do this just because it resembled the boy who insulted you? T-chan...
[In the area where people pick up their cute Blahaj sharks, D is standing with the funky lil creature that has been with him since they woke up.
Said creature is currently lying in the middle of a completely shredded shark.]

[it's cool, wherever there is a disturbance rang always has to be THERE, in that he's walking out from one of these Ikea shelves to survey this interesting scene. I almost assigned small to T-chan. is he actually small anna. HOW BIG IS T-CHAN????]
Can you understand him, or are you just scolding him to make yourself feel better?
Can you understand him, or are you just scolding him to make yourself feel better?
[When D glances over at Rang, he looks absolutely offended. How dare... Unfortunately, he can't seem to sense things like he usually is able back home, and he really hates it.]
You're very rude... I can understand T-chan perfectly fine.
[He glances at the goat-tiger, then frowns. T-chan is small; he can fit in D's arms. Like a small doggy, but bigger than a chihuahua.]
It's... difficult here, but I can still tell what he means.

[rang is also mad that he can't randomly hypnotize people without their consent... life sucks, which is why he's taking it out on innocents(?) like d. He looks at T-chan again, this time with more interest because that's a little goat thing, and then at D,]
Oh, so you actually can?
[interest... piqued]
Is that a natural ability? I know someone who can talk to animals too, but he has to use a pendant.

[T-chan is looking back and forth between D and Rang, holding a piece of the shredded shark on his mouth.
On the other hand, D hesitates, skeptically and uncertainly peering at Rang. His expression is gravely reserved, but… the things Rang just offers, as if understanding…
T-chan drops the shark and huffs, almost like a growl, before stepping a bit between D and Rang.]
It’s alright, T-chan.
[D is still looking at Rang with his mismatched eyes.]
And how do you know someone with such a skill?

[Rang notes T-chan's movement, and looks a little charmed by it. He might not like anyone or anything, but there's a soft spot for animals hidden deep down within him. That and he likes it when animals show aggression.......... we won't get into that.
D's expression doesn't go unnoticed either, and Rang returns it with a smile that probably shows too much teeth,]
He's my brother's very loyal retainer. [there's the slightest hint of a sneer in his voice at the words 'my brother',] He's the one who gave it to him. Thanks to him, Shin-ju runs a lucrative veterinary practice.

[There are two furries in this fucking Ikea together. :tailsface:
T-chan is still watching Rang carefully, but has at least become slightly less pressing after D's reassurance. D's brows fold gently down, and he pensively decides whether or not this is a conversation he wants to have with someone he can't read the pedigree of...
Brother issues... He sees it. Ok, Sasuke.]
...I manage my grandfather's pet shop. I would make a terrible salesman if I couldn't understand the voices of animals.

[LFMSDLFMSD STOP IT YEAH I APPED FURRY SASUKE WITH NARUTO'S POWERS IG
now it's Rang's turn to narrow his gaze, lip curling a little as he considers D's occupation.]
I've met a lot of pet shop owners. [he says it like he doesn't think it's a good thing] Not any who could actually communicate with them, but...
[his gaze darts to t-chan, still fiercely protective. and maybe that's proof enough in Rang's eyes? not proof ENOUGH maybe, but it's something.]
...How can you trust humans to take care of them?

[yaywon i hate that never type it again
Unfazed, D stands under the gaze without batting a lash. He watches Rang carefully, expression guarded in its placidity. There is something familiar in the way Rang asks this question… A telling detachment.]
The pet shop caters to a person’s desires. To their hopes and dreams, their wants. We always have the perfect pet for whoever enters.
However. To buy a pet, they must sign a contract saying they will follow the guidelines for owning that pet. Each pet is different. In the event they break those rules and the contract, the pet shop is not liable for whatever happens after. The owner will then forfeit the pet, and I go to retrieve them.
[He does not clarify what is meant by after, but it may be obvious.
He doesn’t trust humans to take care of them. Which inadvertently is the point.]

[HE'S WHAT SARADA COULD HAVE BEEN
As Rang listens, the light in his eyes change. There's still distrust, but that's more intrinsic than anything, and it's temporarily outshone by the obvious amusement on his face. the way his lips quirk up in a smile, like he's enjoying thinking about what exactly 'after' entails. it makes him see D in a different light at least, what he thought was just another human -- maybe something more? something interesting at least,]
When do you know?
[not 'how', but just a when. as if it's obvious that these contracts will always break?]
Right at the moment of? Does the animal tell you right away, or can you just sense it somehow?

[HELP ME??? YAYWON
Well, Rang isn’t entirely wrong. Most contracts get broken because that is just how humans are. Selfish, and greedy, and ignorant.
The change in Rang is curious. It feels familiar, though not to himself exactly. T-chan is looking back and forth between the two of them now that he is unsure if he has to play guard.]
I stay in touch. [He simply knows, but he does not want to say that so readily to Rang yet.] Often, the owners will contact me afterward in distress.
[But uh
sometimes the owners don’t contact him at all lol.]

That must be annoying.
[imagine having to talk to a human while they're in DISTRESS, in this he will exhibit his shriveled sense of empathy and commiserate with what he thinks is the worst part of d's job.
or maybe the best part, since rang also enjoys human fear and despair. i can't believe they're all gonna be on a team together.]
They're the ones that messed up. What right do they have to ask for help?

[Rang is so freaking funny. D parts his hands a little, almost like a shrug but not really.]
That is the way of humans. They are tempted by all manner of things: love and lust, greed, gluttony, envy. When they break the guidelines, whether intentionally or by accident, I am the first one they call for help. But all I can do is take back the pet and remind them of the rules they have broken.
Sometimes, I may have to remind them of how they got there in the first place.

[he laughs,]
They're so fickle and weak-willed. A pet of their dreams only counts if their dreams don't change, and they always do.
[TYPICAL!!!! imagine buying a pet and not getting THERAPY!!!]
Do they even learn after you tell them? The humans I talk to never understand what they've done wrong.

[Rang is a big, angry baby. T-chan looks from Rang to D slowly.]
Sometimes. [He'd be a liar if he said otherwise. For as much as he dislikes humans, he cannot fault them when they shockingly do the right thing.] It just depends on the person, how willing they are to change.
As much as a nuisance as they may be, they are still... a part of the life on my world.
[Huuugh. UNFORTUNATELY, he has to care... about humans... a little. He's just trying to get them to LEARN.]
If it is not too forward of me, may I ask... what you are? I usually am a good judge of pedigree; however... this place has changed some things for me.

[he is furry sasuke (live action)
The look on Rang's face is both like 'gurl....' and 'my condolences' all mixed into one, because imagine having to give humans the benefit of the doubt.... couldn't be him!! he's already signed onto the human racism lyfe!! he'll never be in terror of experiencing sudden growth where humans are concerned (smiles at the camera like i'm at the office)]
At least you asked first. You wouldn't believe how many 'what are yous' I've gotten the last two days.
[rang has also asked people straight up what they are. well he is a non human and he's allowed to do that,]
I'm a gumiho. [normally he'd say fox because no one here is KOREAN except my gyuhyuk oppa, but maybe he wants to test if Count D knows? since he is... a pet shop owner,
and seems slightly more intelligent about these things than anyone else here]

I understand. T-chan has as well.
[Received a lot of those "what are yous" he means. Looking at HARU and RIN especially. Tch... human teenagers. Anyhow...
A slow, surprisingly genuine smile comes to his lips at the answer. This makes so much sense to him, especially the following day. Sorry to Rang, but he now has to deal with D's softer expression because he loves!! animals!! and especially mythological ones!!] Ah. [Wow, this makes things so much clearer.]
I do hope you won't eat my heart.
[The most hilarious thing is he does not look like any of this bothers him, and he doesn't look like Rang being human bothers him either.]
Your species are a little different, but I have a kitsune in my pet shop. His name is Ten-chan.
[T-chan huffs. Agreeing maybe...?]

[not the frees out here being fantasy racist
Rang like I expected D to know, but I didn't expect this? Hello? Don't just smile at him???? And mention your heart??? He is suddenly seized by the desire to tell D that he hasn't eaten hearts in centuries and really, if he had to pick a part of the human body to eat -- it would be none of them. He has since graduated to bigger and better things, like kbbq.
He doesn't say any of that, he just looks annoyed because that's better than feeling embarrassed. Sometimes, you are a (redacted) fox and people don't actually like you.]
I'd say it's more than a little. I wouldn't be caught dead in a shop.
[okay rang, just because ten-chan is superior...]
How come no one's eaten you yet? There has to be one pet that wants to.
[HE'S JUST COMPLAINING NOW]

[RANG IS SO FUNNY. D also wouldn’t eat a human, but he has animals who will.]
I believe you have a misconception about my grandfather’s pet shop.
[No fault of anyone’s own. No one knows (redacted).]
On the contrary, Mr. Rang. [D motions below him to T-chan delicately and smiles.] You are in the presence of one who has tried to eat me.
T-chan was a Chinese chef. I knew the moment I saw him he was a totetsu. He was extremely beautiful. He courted me for a while, and then he tried to eat me so he could make the perfect meal with my parts. We were interrupted, but that’s alright.
After he was arrested, I asked him to give up his pretend human form and live with me in my shop instead, and he accepted.
[This does not explain how nothing eats him. He just has that animal rizz.]

Rang stares at D, and then down at T-chan, and then back at D. He is over six hundred years old and yet he is still bamboozled by this story. CHINESE CHEF??? PERFECT MEAL??? ARRESTED??????????
he looks at t-chan,]
Are you in love with him or something?
[why else would you MOVE IN AND BECOME SOMEONE'S PET? RANG HAS SEEN THIS DRAMA BEFORE]

[Sheesh.
D rolls his eyes upward, exhaling in exasperation. Of course Rang would think and say this. T-chan looks equally as exasperated.]
You are misunderstanding his nature. He's a totetsu. There is no difference between his love and his appetite. He loves to eat and eats to love. He was after the perfect meal. He had killed several people, and then was after me.
All that mattered to him was being fed. He came to my shop because he would not have to worry about searching for food any longer.
