[ By now, Susato recognizes that look of confusion on him (though it is missing the wide, terrified eyes this time). She is a touch concerned; perhaps he is offended by this representation of him, but, well—he would have to blame this dream world.
She breaths out a sigh and smiles softly when she looks satisfied. There is a nod, both to agree with him and to answer the question. ]
It is easy to say that now that we are back in human form, I suppose... but yes, you were.
[ She grins, allowing the compliment to sink in for a moment before continuing. ]
I have been hiding both of them here until I'm able to give Kazuma his, but now is a good a time as any for you to take yours. I figure he can have a space next to your daruma doll.
[ The mouse in one hand, and the cuddly cat in another... They do look cute together, she must admit. When Ryunosuke sees them next to each other, he may notice his mousey form is a little rougher around the edges than the cat, simply because his was made first. ]
[It's not egotistical if he calls himself cute when he's talking about a form that looks nothing like his regular self and that he will probably never even take again, right? RIGHT?
...If Ryunosuke notices a difference in quality between them, he certainly doesn't indicate it. Which... Probably means he hasn't, because it would show if he did 8/]
You've read my mind again; that's precisely where I was just thinking I might keep it.
[ Ah... It's nice to know she's still got the ability. It really is the same old Ryunosuke, even after all this time, and after they'd been separated for months. She grins, figuring she'll allow him to be egotistical just this once. (Especially since she encouraged it.) ]
Make sure to keep the dust off him. I will come over to make sure, when I have the chance.
In the meantime, may I put Catzuma back in his hiding spot?
[He hands it back over to her, his now empty hand moving to rest musingly on his chin, the little mouse version of himself tucked under his other arm.]
...That's very charming pun. Although personally, I would have gone with something cat related that better echoes the 'ah' sound in his name. Like... 'Claw', maybe? Clawzuma. [...] Clawzuma Nyasogi.
[ . . . At her core, she still prefers Catzuma, though she seems to be giving it careful consideration anyway, if only playfully. She takes the cat and places it back in its hiding spot. Following that, she replaces the books, and it looks like the gap was never there.
The strange sensation she felt is forgotten. ]
Nyasogi... I like it! Perhaps we can simply leave it to him to decide.

Catzuma, huh? Yes, of course. Here you are...

Why do I have this sense that it's going to be a terse 'neither'...?

Her outward reaction is subdued, but her eyes do widen for a moment subtly, before her expression softens. ]
That very well may be. Either way, I will be sure to let you know first thing as soon as he wakes, Mr Naruhodo.
