“Are pets acceptable?”
*boops his nose*

Intense grumbling! How very dare you both.

Aku was all ears. Or was it branches? Antlers? …Brantlers? Anyway, he leaned close to the tree demon.
“Is it human?”

Rythmically taps fingers against the black mess. He’s used to being picked up.

“Wouldn’t call him “friend”. We’ve been discussing the method of his work.”

“Tell me more about him. Who is he and what is his ‘work’?”
“FOOL!! I would DESTROY YOU if we did not exist in…Andifhewasn’tsoaestethicallyappealing.
Aku slammed down his fist hard enough to cause a minor quake.
“What did you say?”

“BEAST! Are those… DEMON POX??”
“Hah, I wish it would be demon pox.

“Just don’t get it on me. It’s highly offensive.” He wrinkled his nose.
