[ Oh, she was crying... Yata looks at Totsuka again; he was infinitely better at this sort of thing. ]

[ Lifting a finger to his lips, he just smiles at Yata. Even if he himself never cried, he understands there is sometimes a need for it.

Although...

He mouths, "Hug her?" ]

[ ... he can't. That was beyond too much! Yata's eyes narrow at Totsuka and he just awkwardly pats her hair again instead. Kougyoku could cry as long as she felt like at this rate, he guesses. ]

[ These guys sure know how to handle a crying girl. The headpats are a little comforting, though. Kougyoku doesn't cry for long - she remembers the bunny ears on her head. Right! She rubs her eyes to dry them as fast as she can so she can face the two and ask her next question. ]

So... so am I cute? It's cute, right? The ears.

The ears amplify your cuteness!

Mm, you look even more like a bunny... [ That was supposed to be a compliment. ]

[ Bops him on the head, right in between the cat ears. ]

You're supposed to say I look cute, too!

[ Payback for every time he's flicked her forehead or pinched her cheeks, wasn't it. ]

Hey!! Alright, alright, you look cute!

[ Laughing!! ]

That makes Yata's even more of a cat!

[ This is just the beginning.

She laughs with Totsuka, but soon her eyes start sparkling again. ]

Ah, you're right. It does! You know, I've always wanted a pet...

A pet?! I don't look like a cat at all!

They make you look even more like a cat.

[ Is he repeating himself -- nope, he's quoting, replacing bunny with cat. ]

You're supposed to say he looks cute, too!

[ And she's quoting... herself. ]

[ ... What was happening-- ]

I told you already, guys don't wanna be called somethin' like cute! If I'm a cat, I'll be a dangerous alley cat. [ Hmph! ]

[ Is he ignoring Yata? Maybe? ]

Alright, alright, he looks cute!

Tatara, you'll be nice to Yata even if he's an alley cat, right?

[ Since he's a dog. At least she was half-listening to Yata. ]

Of course he'll be nice!! Totsuka-san, tell her!

[ If he talks louder Totsuka will stop ignoring him, right? ]

I'm always nice.

Oh! Right. I should be nice to him, too... What should I do?

--YO, DON'T TALK ABOUT ME LIKE I'M NOT HERE?!

[ wincing -- everyone in the house has probably heard Yata by now. ]

Yata, too loud!

Yata! [ covers her ears, wow so annoying. But it's okay. She understands. ]

If you want attention, you should ask nicely next time. [ Like she could talk. ]

[ just like that, he's a scolded puppy. he huffs and crosses his arms and in contrast to the yelling, he mumbles, ]

You guys suck...

[ Chuckling now. ]

We're listening.

[ As if they hadn't just ignored him!! ]

There, there.

[ Pats Yata's head. He's her pet now. ]
