"You're welcome. It's my pleasure to help out, Hakuba. As for Rufus, he's is a perfect subject to snark with, under the best of circumstances," Tyki said, chuckling. "I know I enjoy it very much."

He was able to walk a lot faster without having to slow down to Hakuba's stubby little legs, so they made better time now, and he soon reached the door.

He let Hakuba down so he could open the door and let him into his apartment on Gaia.
