Awakening Beast. (Hellhound's Entry)

[Balthier]

Akemi watched her put something on, it seemed to work.

"Yes I think that style really suits you. Practical and... cute."

Akemi reached out and patted the Hound's head reassuringly. Then rubbed her hair side to side, before straightening it back out by petting her. Akemi noted how the clothing hugged the Hound. 

"Yeah, this will work." She put the rest in the trunk and And got back in the car. Time seemed to fly the rest of the trip as she got to Yokohama. The building more frequentand  bigger and bigger, more and more people too, until they were in the city proper.

Akemi let the Hound stay out the Window, big city folk more accustomed to seeing an oddity. Plus with the convention in town, the big one across the Bay in Tokyo, many thought Hellhound was a cosplayer. A cosplayer with a really tight shirt, and she drew many looks. At a stop light, a car full of young men, rolled their windows down as well, and looked at Hellhound, "Hey girl! Looking good! You going to the convention?" Looking for any excuse to talk to the Hound, as the seconds at thw stoplight ticked away.

As Hellhound felt like she had done good, even getting a rewarding headpat for it, her tail started wagging gently. Perhaps she was a bit too naive or innocent on that one side of things but she was still a happy puppy. "Hellhound is Prac... teecal? Oh but I know what cute means. Cute is good. I like being cute.", she replied to Akemi. The rubbing was the best and it very noticeably calmed her. Once they were ready to leave. Just like before, the hound would sit in a way to look outside but at least her butt was not left for all to see this time. Still, very pettable if one desired to do so. Her tail slowly calmed down to become more relaxed as they continued the path to the big city. Hellhound's gaze was entirely focused on outside.

In the city itself, the citizen looked like normal humans but dressed a little more modern than what she had seen in most village. The city was more active as well. Many more cars were on the streets as well, those one carrying other humans around. As they finally stopped at a stop light, having no idea why they had done so, she simply didn't question it and looked around instead, only to be surprised by that other car stopping near theirs. Being told that she looked good made her smile but the word that made her ears perk up was 'convention'. At first, she looked up in thought then tilted her head before she looked back to Akemi. "Convention! Someone talked about it... A demon said they'd go there.", she told to Akemi.

Whether it was betraying a demon or not, she didn't care. Her memory was suddenly remembering the word and the place she wanted to go but was told to back off from. Magical girls including the one who had first defeated her were to be found there, at least at the time the demon left for it. She couldn't really tell how long that was ago, though. "It's the place where Hellhound wanted to go to but they told me that I can't because humans would not like me...", she said with her ears dropping, even though she knew fully well why she wanted to go. With Akemi, though, things had changed a bit. "Should we tell humans...?", she asked, if only to mess with demons, ignoring the men in the cars who talked to her, for now.

"A demon... is going to the convention!?"

Akemi zeroed in on every word from that point. "What demon is going? I think that would be a bad idea for them. There are so many defenders there, unless they are confident to take on whole teams by themselves at once?"

Akemi nodded as she listened, and started driving again when the light turned green. "I assume they think the humans would dislike you, because they think the human would assume you are a pawn for the demon's. There are a lot of magical girls and knights there. As well as a lot of civilians, it's not a place to fight, but even if it was, I wouldn't recommend walking into a 10s, possibly a hundred possible enemies."

After some minutes, she finally pulled up to her father's restraunt and parked. Akemi looked over at her new friend. "It sounds like they either didn't trust you, or they may have been looking out for your best interest. Maybe both. There is a time and place for fights. The convention is not it. Thty said... it is a great way to get attention, if one can be a good girl. It's all about how you act and present yourself. A dangerous stray? Or an attack dog the whole community can love."

She watch Hellhound's face. Being truthful with her, and trying to judge her reaction. The convention didn't sound like a good idea, but she would let the Hounds know feom her perspective what it was about. She hoped she remembered their conversation from earlier...

Opening the car door, the smell of food, savory sauces and sweet meats, filled the air.

"Whatever we do, let's eat now."

Hellhound nodded to the first question but then to the next, she tried to think hard about it, almost to the point of giving herself a headache, "I don't know... But he was with bunnyman. I think they were going to spy on the convention.", she said, referring to the rabbit demon she had met in hell. Her memory was a bit foggy from back then but it was not like she cared at that moment. Whatever demons or humans did was not her problem. "Lot of enemies there, then... Okay, I'll stay away.", she said, concluding that if she could take on a village, a main base of magic humans might not be the best place to try anything funny. If they were so powerful anyway, they probably could handle that one demon... Probably...?

After Akemi finally parked and explained to her the way she could choose to behave, Hellhound paused, thinking about how she could be a good girl. Being dangerous to human was not it but an "attack dog the whole community can love", sounded like a nice party of headpats and food. The thought made her tail wag a bit again. "Okay, Hellhound will be a good girl.", she promised, hoping the humans would also behave. Once finally outside the car, the smell made her instantly curious, "Ooh, food... I am hungry, now. Whatever this is, it smells good.", she said in reaction to the scent. Not even thinking of where she was or people looking at her, all she could think about was new kind of food that she might taste.
