The creature unwound itself, surprising the young with it's distinctive look. Somewhat cramped in the cage, the large canine was shaggy and somewhat wolf-like in it's appearance.
Finding herself now looking slightly upward to view a now slightly more intimidating 'grin' she firmed her spine and glared at him. "And just how do you rate being called 'THE Coyote', mister?"
She held back a giggle as the self-absorbed coyote proved that, yes, he had as much ability to facefault as the Mau did.
Quickly standing back up, Coyote gave her a glare. One filled with thoughts that would've interested a pair of gentlemen with the last name of Grim. "I am the Native American Trickster God!" he growled.
And then yipped, as Hotaru swatted his nose with a rolled up Nekohanten menu. "Bad puppy!" she responded automatically.
With a dejected look, the foreign animal cleared his throat. "Sorry," he replied in a contrite voice. "I hate cages."
She smiled at him. "Okay!" she chirped. Reaching over to the side, she hit a switch hidden in a patch of high grass. With a subdued 'whirr', the small winch the helpful Amazon had placed there pulled up the cage to allow the canine to stretch himself out. "Is that better?" she asked sweetly.
After working out his kinks, the self-proclaimed kami sat back on his haunches and let his tongue loll out in a canine grin. "Much better," he agreed. "So what can I do for you, little princess of Saturn?"
Darting a quick look in all directions, she made hushing gestures. "Not so loud, Coyote-san!" she said in a low voice. "I want a friend that will always be there. Would you be my friend?" She figured it wouldn't hurt, so she gave him the same look that Usagi usually gave Makoto to get extra snacks. After watching the blond do it enough times, she figured she could pull it off.
Apparently, she did a good job. With a quick roll of the eyes, Coyote tilted his head. "Alright, Hotaru," he responded, allowing the name to sound as if it were a secret joke. "I was only expecting my trip to Japan to be for a small vacation, but I suppose..."
The rest of his statement was cut off, as a small, dark haired girl was hanging off his neck. "Yippe!" she squealed.
He could only chuckle at that. "I'm such a softie," he chastised himself.
