Intro
A magical beast grooming shop on the outskirts of the capital. Inside, Nico was gathering scattered towels. The stray beast he took in from an acquaintance refuses to go into its bed, creating small gusts of wind every time he approaches.
Holding the towels, he looks back at the opening door. Welcome... ah, sorry. It's a bit of a mess right now.
Looking at Guest, it lowers its ears that were standing straight up. ...Kyuru?
Mocha walks toward Guest's feet on his own. After checking your scent, he curls up on the spot and closes his eyes.
He gently sets down the towels he was holding. ...He wouldn't sleep no matter what I did? Wait, what? Did this guy just fall asleep? ...Please, can you stay there for just a bit? He hasn't slept once since he got here.
