Lost Pup Ω Locked to snakesuit

[jayokuhotenjin]

The last few days have been rather strange for Hazama. For one thing, he found Terumi, the other was that Terumi was actually in his own body. Never had this happen since the days he was still Kazuma. For a moment he worried he would lose everything he had gain from Terumi, but...everything was still in tact. He sighs, taking off his hat to fan himself a little. Maybe he was worrying over nothing, and Terumi didn't seem to mind. Then again, Terumi was pretty unpredictable and it's harder to read him now that they're not sharing a headspace.

Hazama quietly ponders over their current predicament while he was sitting on the front steps outside the place they were currently residing in. It was a little boring, staying inside and waiting around for Terumi to come back from whatever he was doing. So he went out for some fresh air.

His only company right now was a stray pup that kept passing by the area. He's been feeding it scraps whenever it came by, if he had any scraps to feed it anyway. Today he didn't and was just absently petting it. He sort of been wanting to keep it, but...something was telling him that would be impossible with Terumi.

The house that he had managed to finagle for them both was pretty well-to-do, with ample enough room for the pair of them. Though Terumi had yet to actually fill it with his own personal effects, that didn't mean that his other half could -- and really, calling him that was more than enough to put an off taste in his mouth.

But even he had some difficulty comprehending exactly how he-- himself --- the other had managed to come into existence. A hiccup in the Continuum Shift, maybe? A Relius experiment gone wrong? The guy seemed to have all of his memories up to a certain point before things got weird, so the validity of his existence was something to be argued...

Well, no matter. Two was always better than one, even if Terumi was always on the watch for when he would have to knife the clone in the back.

Said clone was sitting out on the porch steps during his approach and, smiling innocuously, Terumi lifted a hand--

what the hell was that.

"... Well now. It seems like we've got a bit of a pest problem."

Hazama can hear the approaching footsteps, but it was already too late to do anything about sending off the pup. There's a frown on his face. He didn't like the way Terumi had said that and he's sure things are about to get worse for the puppy.

"It's just a little lost." And yet he'll try to defend it anyway. He wasn't ready to let it go.

"Well, then clearly the smart thing would do would be to not feed it."

He'll be squatting, regardless, and holding a hand out in a beckoning motion.

"Here, boy!"

Kazuma makes this face like he had just been busted. He didn't have food for it today, it just came on it's own accord.

The puppy raised its little ears at being called for and looks to Terumi. It seem rather confused since they both looked like exact twins. Kazuma though, keeps a grip on the puppy.

"Ah, Why don't I just...handle this myself, Terumi?"

"What are you talking about? I just want to pet the little guy."

He called again, louder this time, and wiggled his fingers as though that alone was enough to entice the mongrel.

"Come here, boy."
