Who do you think you're calling "sleeping beauty"?

[ Ah, yes, the flirting that starts right away and waits for no one. He's going to be taking the cup of coffee and allowing things to just roll off of him for now. Yeah, there are a lot of things he wants to know (tail being the first and foremost concern) but if he's here to help Roc then, well, no need to tell him twice. ]

I see. Sorry for crashing in the middle of this then.

You've been unconscious since we got here. Not much else to call you.

[ He checked to make sure Panther was fine before dashing along. ]

You're not crashing anything. [ At that he holds up the finger with the silver string. ] Looks like all the pairs in here are tied together. So we're supposed to work together here. I'm sure she'll be delighted you're here.

[ she is! and also paying close attention to this conversation ]

Sleeping Beauty? ... Then... Does that make you Prince Valiant, Coyote?

[ asked quite innocently ]

Hold on, one moment.

[ Sorry but not sorry Coyote. ]

Don't encourage him or that.

I... did I do something wrong?

[ she looks taken aback. what's happening??? ]

No, no you didn't. [ Ah....don't be the dick, Panther. ]

It's just—he gets carried away with this sort of thing if you get him started.

He likes to tease you, huh? Isn't that just how friends play?

I'm not sure if it's really "playing".

[ I think you mean flirting. ]

[ Excuse you, Panther. He's going to encourage her with this talk anyway. ]

[ DEADEYES.... ]

[ Doki doki. ]

I could live with that. Either that or Prince Charming.

[ COYOTE STOP. ]

Charming was Snow White, though, wasn't he? You'd be mixing up the stories...

Isn't it a little fun to cross the streams sometimes? Nothing wrong with telling our own story here.

What kind of story would you make it then?

[ she seems quite interested ]

That's a bit of a loaded question. [ There's a bit of a sadness that creeps into his smile. ]

My story would involve a heroic rescue of a Princess, not for the Prince himself, but for the little Princess waiting at home for her dear sister. A happy ending they deserve.

You could just call me something like, "sleepy head" or "bright eyes".

[ Are they really going there? Yeah, I guess they are. Though he'll take a look at the string and...try not to think about it too hard. ]

Well, if that's the case then it shouldn't be so bad. Hopefully we'll find what needs fixing and do our best to get things in order.

How about I call you "dreamy" instead?

[ Lucky you, Panther! Lucky you. But hey, at least Coyote's not being super glum and stressed out in here, right? Gotta focus at what's at hand. ]

It'll work out. I'll show you the map after we're done here.

Panther is just fine. [ WHY THIS IN HIYORI'S HEART... But yes, he's very happy that he isn't glum or dragging his feet. ]

Sounds good. And just what is the plan here exactly? Eat, drink, and enjoy the scenery?

[ It's honestly not a bad thing if that's what he plans on doing. ]

No pet names yet?

[ His tail is flicking around like a pleased feline right now. Despite his anger earlier. But that story will come after this fun little scene is done. ]

For now, at least. She invited me to sit down, so I thought that seemed the good line of thought. Enjoy the moment.

Try ever.

[ While Coyote is pleased, Panther will be slightly agitated, so his tail will just be flipping on the ground a bit. ]

Alright. I guess it wouldn't be too terrible to sit down and have a chat like this. [ Taking note of the other Echoes with them. ]

I don't think I recognize all of them.

Don't worry, I won't actually start calling you "Kitten."

[ You can bet that he'll be keeping an eye on that tail throughout this, Panther. Promise it isn't to check out that ass. ]

I don't, either. Maybe we should ask about them, since they're important to her.

I'll take that as a small blessing then.

[ r u sure? Don't lie to him. ]

Sounds ideal. Should I pick one and you pick one?

[ HE'S NOT LYING HERE. He's just curious about the tail responses. ]

That works for me. After you.

I'll take the floating girl then.

[ He has his eyes on you, Coyote. ]
