[ something is recording, it's possible to tell by that faint... rustle and buzz that is present even when no actual sound is made to be recorded and just faintly there's the sound of wind and leaves rustling... But he's not saying anything. Probably unintentionally set the journal to record voice and didn't know how to turn it off.

There are things he wants to ask, he just doesn't know quite where to start. Hyoga seems to realise he's being recorded after a couple minutes of silence...there is still more silence but his gaze is at least fixed on the camera.

Why is there a camera in a book? It is one of many things he doesn't understand. Finally the recording stops and instead there's a neatly written post. ]

How many people live in that village? [ hopefully there's only one village, he was only able to find one...sense one really. Sense where most people seem to be. ]

Are any of the people here native to this place? [ it didn't look like it from what he listened to/read.

And he ends it there. There's a lot more he wants to ask but maybe it'd be better if he could get someone one on one. This is him awkwardly reaching out. ]

I will keep that in mind. [ and he'd be a bit more confused about the Kotomi-chan if what she said next didn't catch his attention. ]

...Hyoga-kun #2?

[ voice ]

[etudes]

There's already a Hyoga-kun. So I told Ikki-kun that if another Hyoga-kun came in, I'd have to call Hyoga-kun Hyoga-kun #1 and the new Hyoga-kun Hyogakun #2.

... You're different than the other Hyoga-kun though. [ Since he's a dog, but fine, she's just.. a little slow in her observations. ]

[kyknus]

Would it help if I said you can just call me Hyoga? [ but that still seems confusing. And that's assuming they have reason to speak to each other. ]

Or Cygnus if you'd prefer. [ honestly what he's called is unimportant. ]

This other Hyoga also knows Ikki?

[ voice ]

[etudes]

Cygnus-kun works. [ she nods to herself - yes, she just.. doesn't do 'no honorifics', apparently. ]

And Hyoga-kun is Ikki-kun's pet.

[ voice ]

[kyknus]

[ he kind of figured, something with normal Japanese people and honorifics and given names and-- he will never fully understand it. But hold on one second. ]

His pet? [ wtf Ikki. ]

So Hyoga-kun is an animal. [ if it's not he quits this guessing game. ]

[ voice ]

[etudes]

Yes, Hyoga-kun is an animal. He's very, very cute too. I've played with him before.

[ voice ]

[kyknus]

... [ unsure. ]

Is it a duck? [ why else would Ikki name an animal after him? ]

[ voice ]

[etudes]

A puppy.

[ More a wolf than a dog though, but with Kotomi being.. Kotomi.. she'll call it that all the same. ]

[ voice ]

[kyknus]

Ikki has a dog. [ if that wasn't so weird and outside of his mental image of Ikki he'd wonder if this was a roundabout insult. ]

I should probably go find him. Thank you Kotomi [ say it Hyoga :| ] chan.

[ voice ]

[etudes]

[ yes, at least add the -chan, since she has a habit of ignoring people who don't use it without even realising it.. ]

You're welcome. Please say hi to Ikki-kun for me once you find him.

[ voice ]

[kyknus]

[ he will respect her wishes even if it's just plain awkward to him.

And lol, saying hi to Ikki for someone. ]

I...will.
