[It's late in the day because of course it is, that time when Hakai's most active. The sun's been down for some time now, which means it's the perfect chance to track down Chiaki. He seems a little more lively than usual, and why shouldn't he? He's completed what he considered a mission.
It's just like old times~
When he believes he's getting closer to her scent, he announces himself the only way he knows how.]
Burua~! I come bearing results!!
[Even his tail wags a little faster than it normally does. It's clear he's seeking some sort of praise. There's...there's a reason he turned into a dog.]
[Haha, sleeping is for the weak! He's only making her stronger by waking her up or...something. Either way, he doesn't feel bad for his intrusion.
Instead, he instantly slams himself onto his knees, pulling out the toy watch from under his scarf and presenting it to her much like...an evil minion would. Look, he may not be one anymore, but old habits die hard.]
I was able to retrieve the watch with zero casualties!
[Hakai doesn't even make eye contact with her, although it's easy to see the small smile on his muzzle. Even then, it doesn't give away even a faction of how hard he wants the praise right now. Someone please tell Hakai he did a good job.]
[She still blinks blearily for a second, but when she recognizes the watch... she perks up visibly, a smile spreading across her face quickly.]
You were able to get it back!? I'm so happy, Hakai-san—I'm sorry for losing it in the first place... but I'm glad that you were able to find it and get it back...
[The pride on his face is unmistakable as he rises back onto his feet, the smugness he feels is absolutely obnoxious.]
I only give my best for--
[..."you" is what he normally would say. To his master. "I only give my best for you." What was once smug and full of pride is suddenly tinged with a hint of sadness as he corrects himself.]
I only give my best.
[It's stated more matter-of-factly and not at all as triumphant as he was in the beginning, ending it all by clearing his throat. Right. Anyway, moving on.]
...you need to be more aware of your surroundings while you're sleeping. Even now, you were completely unaware of my presence before I announced myself. I could've easily attacked you.
[It's a...very Hakai way of saying "Don't worry about it."]
[She gives him a slow nod in agreement, actually. She gets it. It's what led to her losing the watch, and she was so guilty about that, and yet here she is still super sluggish.]

But she stirs when she hears Hakai, blinking at him blearily.]
Ha...kai-san?

How do I get better...? [It's said seriously.]
