[C][M] Test Run

Dario grinned to himself as he slipped off stage and threw an arm around Silt as he sat down on the couch.

"He should be here within the hour. Wanna nab a room and get it set up?"

Dario was excited. He'd put out an ad on Fetlife and Tumblr looking for a puppy after Hayden and Ray had given him the okay to do so and he'd actually had a few replies in the area.

He'd been talking to one of them a lot over the last week or two and tonight he was coming to Zo to meet him and see whether Dario liked him.

He'd sent him a text telling him to take a seat in one of the booth and ask the nearest waiter to ask for Silt.

Now it was just a waiting game.

"Yes sir."

Silt purred with a chuckle as Dario threw an arm around him, the man's good mood had been infectious all night and he found himself doing his job properly for once, rubbing up against people, flirting with them, it had turned into a profitable night for him.

The Demon headed toward one of the back rooms and reserved it, slipping inside to set up everything was required.

Kajika hadn't been in Italy long, it had just needed to get away for a while and he decided to travel but being alone hadn't suited him well and he wasn't the type to just rub himself up against anyone to be taken in for the night.

When he had seen the ad he had fretted over it for a long while before responding, when he saw that he got a return message he had freaked out a little before replying.

As the days rolled on though he found himself more comfortable with the idea of meeting someone off of the internet.

It had been a long time since he had searched for a Master after all.

He stood out the front of the club, staring at the door for a moment, butterflies filling his stomach before he finally walked inside.

Dario was out on the stage, having his fun with Khaliq for the many viewers that had taken root in Zo tonight.

He had asked Silt to go get Kajika when he arrived and keep him company until Dario got off the stage and could slip into the back room with them.

Until then, though, he'd have fun and try to draw in as much money as he could on the stages.

He'd need it. He doubted he'd be doing much else to get money tonight. He'd be just a little distracted.

Kajika moved through the crowd and took a seat as he had been instructed, pulling his hair over his shoulder and covering his ears as they pointed out through his hair slightly.

He called over the nearest waiter and asked for Silt. The man darted off in search and a few long minutes later a grinning white haired man approached him.

"Follow me."

He instructed, leading him through the crowd and into a quieter back room.

"He is busy at the moment but he will be here soon, take a seat and get comfortable."

Kajika nodded softly and moved the sit down, fiddling with his hands, his fingers were constantly curled over, as it to form a paw, he had lived as a pup for so long that being like this made him uncomfortable, he wasn't quite sure what to do with himself.

"You don't have to be nervous."
Silt muttered, getting the Elf's attention as Jika looked up from his hands and glanced at the Demon.

"He is a nice guy, you'll be fine."

Dario didn't appear in the room for three quarters of an hour after Silt had taken Kajika to a back room.

The man knocked on the door then pushed it open, pushing his hair out of his face as he stepped inside.

"Sorry that took so long."

He hadn't expected his and Liq's show to be quite so popular tonight.

"You must be Kajika. Hi, I'm Dario." The man padded forwards and held a hand out to shake the Elf's.

Jika's eyes shot up as the door was opened, his gaze trailing over the man's form.

He looked the part of a Master, he was larger than he expected, his build was solid and strong.

He lifted his hand to shake Dario's, his fingers were still curled as he lifted it, he paused for a second as his hand nearly touched the human's, forcing his fingers to straighten before taking his hand and shaking it firmly.

"Nice to meet you."

He murmured, he was a little intimidated but that more of the fact that he was somewhere new and didn't know anyone rather than the presence of the two men, though he did feel slightly cornered.

Dario took a seat on the couch Jika was sat on.

He didn't sit too close to the man. He didn't want to scared him or make him uncomfortable. That's not what tonight was about.

"Have a pleasant trip here?" the man asked with a little smile.

They didn't need to rush into anything tonight. They had the room until they were done, no matter how long it took. They could sit and chat as much as they liked before talking business.

As a person Kajika was fairly quite, as a dog he was much for affectionate and excited, he felt free in that style of life.

As a nervous habit he idly reached up to grip onto his collar which was no longer there, he passed it off as a gentle scratch before toying with the collar of his shirt.

"It was alright, the bus was fairly crowded but uneventful."

He replied, extending a soft smile to Dario in return.

"That's good to hear. Sometimes there can be some trouble on the buses around here. I'm glad you avoided that."

Dario's haze turned to the Demon.

"Did Silt introduce himself or did he just sit you here and stare in that dramatic way he thinks is cool sometimes?" Dario asked with a chuckle, poking fun at the Demon as he leaned back comfortably against the back of the couch.

The man crossed one leg over the other, the muscles of his thighs rolling under his deep tanned skin with the movement.

Jika shook his head softly with a small smile.

"No we spoke briefly, he explained a few things about the town here. Told me that you know about supernaturals?"

He asked, looking up at the man, and tucking a small braid behind his pointed ear.

"He is an Elf."
Silt perked up, sprawling out over his couch as his tail wagged.

"And my stare is cool, thank you very much."

Dario nodded.

"That's right. I've known them for around a month now, I think." It had been a little while.

"An Elf, huh? I always picture Elves to look like Legolas and Galadriel." So Dario was a bit of a Ringer. He enjoyed the franchise a lot.

The man snorted. "Right, cool. Sure. Don't let him convince you he's cool for one second, Kajika. He's lying through his teeth."

Kajika gave a soft chuckle and shook his head.

"My bloodline isn't a very potent one and I'm still only young so for the moment I'm fairly human, except for my ears and I heal a little faster than you would."

He explained, pulling his hair away from his ears, the more he spoke the more he got comfortable around these two, they seemed fairly approachable.

"I am cool!"
Silt replied, looking offended.

Dario reached up to stroke the Elf's ear gently when it was revealed to him.

"Cute."

The Elf did have adorable pointed ears.

"You're about as cool as I am."

Dario knew he was far from cool.

Kajika couldn't help but give a soft, happy whine as his ears were touched, leaning into the stroke.

His ears were so sensitive and no one had really been close to him since his last Master, his body remembered these touches.

A soft dusting of pink powered his cheeks as he realized he had given a dogs reaction when he was meant to be acting human.

He cleared his throat for a moment as he looked up at Dario.
"Sorry, force of habit."

Dario's lips parted over his teeth in a grin when Jika whined happily.

"It's all right."

His finger stroked over his ear again, testing to see if he could get that same reaction again. It was an adorable reaction. Dario loved it. He hoped to be seeing that happy expression a lot in the future.

"I quite enjoy it. Do you, Silt?"

Silt gave a smirk at the reaction, that was quite cute.

Without fail Kajika leaned into the touch and gave another happy whine, leaning into his hands and nuzzling against it. His cheeks flushed a little darker and he rubbed up against the man's hand.

He couldn't help himself, he loved these touches he wanted to cuddle and be petted.

"It's quite adorable actually."
The Demon replied with a grin.

"It is, isn't it?"

His hand slid lower, scratching at Jika's neck gently.

He definitely enjoyed being pet. That was good. He would seriously enjoy petting the boy if he reacted like this every time.

His fingers slid under Jika's hair and his nails scraped at the nape of his neck.

he definitely looked cute with that happy expression on his face.

It had been a long time since he had been pet, too long.

Despite being in human mode and being dressed properly as soon as he was stroked like this he could feel himself slipping into puppy mode.

As Dario's fingers scraped the nape of his neck he moved closer to the man, giving a pleased whine as he crawled up on the couch and nestled in against the man's side, his pale tongue lapping at the man's cheek softly.

His left leg jiggled slightly as it he would start thumping it if he was continuously scratched.

A grin curled his lips when Jika pressed closer to him and kicked his cheek.

He gave a short, sharp whistle.

"New puppies don't get to sit up on the couch. I don't know if you're house trained. On the floor. Sit," he ordered.

Pleasantries had very quickly turned into play.

Dario was quite pleased with this.

Jika looked up at Dario with a sad whimper as he was told to get down.

He quickly hopped off of the couch and sat on the floor, looking up at the man as if he had just been scolded.

Like any pup Kajika had mastered the puppy dog eyes and stared up at him pleadingly, he wanted to be cuddled again, he was enjoying his pets.

Dario pat the pups head when he moved to sit on the floor.

"Good boy." His fingers stroked over his hair and slid under his chin, pushing his face upwards slightly.

"Silt, fix him up. He doesn't look like a puppy right now."

Dario wanted to see Kajika knelt at his feet like a proper puppy.

"Fold his clothes neatly."

Jika's backside swayed slightly as he was praised and petted, if he had a tail in it would be wagging.

Silt rose to his feet and padded over to the pup, leaning down on his knees beside him.

"Paws up."

He instructed, lifting his hands like he wanted the Elf to do. Jika copied and Silt pull his shirt off over his head, exposing his tones torso.

After that he manuvered the pup until he naked and sitting up on the floor.

He folded the pups clothes and set them neatly on the table.

"Thank you, Silt."

His gaze turned down to the naked Elf at his feet.

He gave a short whistle. "Turn around. Present," he ordered, twirling his finger in the air the gesture for Kajika to turn around.

Physical examination before he tested his obedience.

He needed to make sure Jika was healthy before putting any time into testing him.

As soon as Dario whistled the pup's eyes were on him, it was a signal to pay attention and he did just that, focusing on his solely.

He got onto all fours and turned around on the spot, bending his body and presenting himself to the man at which point he stayed still.

He was a good dog and now that he felt more comfortable he was willing to allow the man to touch him more and do all the things a good mutt did.

"Good boy."

He patted the Elf's backside a couple times as his eyes trailed over him.

He was quite a pretty little pooch.

His fingers stroked between his cheeks slowly, the tips brushing gently over his entrance.

Dario didn't see anything wrong with him.
