[A bird's face, and a living shadow. And if she were to look, she would notice Dark Shadow's lower half tapers off into a 'tail' that connects not to his feet, but to his navel. He knows he sticks out like a sore thumb here, but he's trying not to let it get to him.]

It is as surprising for you as it is for me. Usually he isn't a big cuddler.

[Dark Shadow looks up and huffs at that.]

Hey, hugs are fun! And she gives nice hugs!!

[Dark Shadow, please... In any case, Tokoyami shakes his head.]

It is nice to meet you as well. I am Fumikage Tokoyami, and this is Dark Shadow. We only recently arrived here in this world.
